Negative Positive
Title: Marquez Lite
Review: This book reminds me on One Hunded Years of Solitude, though the comparison is probably unfair to Marquez. It's a generational novel that follows the life a young boy through his early years with his carnival parents, to life as a white boy in the barrio, to law school, to Vietnam, and in the end (of course) to redemption. The characters are drawn fairly well, and the moral choices they face are compelling. But I can't say that the characters became my friends, or that any of the themes are particularly enduring. If you're considering this and haven'r read any Marquez, I suggest going there first.
Is the review positive or negative?
