Negative Positive
Title: A book that's hard to put down.
Review: You can read this very quickly, but it's so captivating you'll wish there were more. Marquez makes you feel the sailor's hunger, his thirst, his lonliness, his fear, and his hope. It's an ideal book to give a young reader--twelve to fourteen years old, perhaps--to get him/her interested in "adult" reading: the narrative is quite simple, but the story is as exciting as any you'll find, and one you'll remember for a long time.
