i spent 9 days just to read chapter 1, i didn't even understand what i was reading, and when i got to chapter 2 i finally started to understand the plot and restarted from the beginning. honestly i didn't really enjoy it, it wasn't interesting at all and bored me to death, the plot is fine i guess, but not a fan of the writing. seriously i just forced myself to finish it and finally it was done. the end.

This book is such a wild ride. I found it hard to relate to the characters as I didn't find any of them massively likeable (except maybe Ángela), and I found it especially hard to sympathize at all with

Spoiler

Santiago

. That may have been the point however, in which case it is extremely clever to switch around the norm of feeling bad for the victim of the murder, as we discover that he is not a good person.

No one writes like Gabriel García Marquez. It's so easy to get swept away in his beautiful prose. This novella balances the mystery, magical realism, and magnetic characters so indicative of his longer works. So, if you're looking for an entry point into his work, Chronicle may be a good starting place before diving into his longer novels.
