“Love”? More like constant infidelity.
“Love”? More like sexual assault ( a doctor to his patient! And she’s okay with it!* )
“Love”? More like pedophilia.
“Love”? More like stalking.
This book was crap. Marquez is a talented writer but the story was gross, annoying and pointless. So pointless. I couldn’t care less about every single character.
It’s completely sexist and so OBVIOUSLY written by a sex-obsessed man. He practically has his female characters begging for sex. *And when they’re assaulted, they’re okay with it! And even a 14 year-old girl is happy to have a 70 year-old man groom her and…you know the rest.
Just gross. So so gross.

Honestly, there was absolutely nothing that I liked in this book. I have no idea why it is referred as a love story. For me, it seems more of a creepy obsession of a pervert!
Florentino is a selfish, pervert, creepy and disgusting character.
Fermina is so annoying. She's never happy with anything.
The only person that was somehow agreeable was Dr Urbino, until he started to be a cheater as well.
No one in this book could keep their pants on!
Yuck, yucky book, no morals, no substance, no lessons.
Just a lame story of a senseless obsession.

I liked the bit that recounted the incident with the escaped parrot. There is also a lot of discussion of the mortality of human beings, gerontolophobia, the nature of sex and love, there is further musing on the deforestation of Colombia and the pointless hunting of indigenous fauna, which appears to also be a parallel between the tendency of the young to not indulge in self-care to sustain their health and prolong their strength and fitness.... yet.
This is a story that feels like it's supposed to be romantic, but really it just comes across as the exploits of a man's fostering a lifelong obsession with a woman who turned him down when she was 18.
cw: rape that is celebrated by the recipients of the unsolicited attention (more than once)
cw: physical relationship between a custodian and ward.
..ugh.. yeah let's just not.
