Title: Why Mr. Marquez why?
Product review: I do not want to be too harsh because I admire his talent. I wish I had never read this book. Great novelists, like Mr. Marquez, have the power of portraying eccentric, volatile yet real essence of life with pure, ordinary elements of everyday routine. One feels enriched upon reading such masterpieces. This book did the opposite. It gives a dull message using fantastic set of events and cartoonish characters. The message is forced and everything is patched together to poorly fulfill the minimal requirement of coherence. It is alienating to the reader. For example, Rosa Cabarcas character portrays more saint-like sister than a vicious veteran madam. There are pages one even senses a juvenile urgency to insert isolated pieces before the book ends.I do not know why Mr. Marquez thought this is a finished work ready to be read by the public.
