Book a bit repetitive in places, but it is a delightful read. The two entire life spans. It takes place between the end of the 19th century and ends in the early 20th century. Like all Marquez novels, this one is well written and a pleasure to read.
Marquez's use of realism and fantasy mythical fun and some sad plot goes on. The main character stalks his lover in the park to play on a bench reading as she passes by. His love becomes an obsession.
Marquez shows that love and sorrow is not for youth alone can bring. The powerful hold that true love can have on a man celebrates his life. This is a book that a man as much as a woman would enjoy.
