Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez

3.0

I wanted to like this book, and I kind of did by the end, but there was a lot I didn't like too. It confused me how it changed narrative after building it up to be a story about the Doctor, and I didn't really like any of the characters that much. I'm not convinced it's the 'greatest love story ever told' or whatever the hype is surrounding it, since neither of them seemed to love each other that much in a normal, non-obsessive way. Yes, it was very well written, but it was pretty dense too, and the love story was kind of cheapened by all the sex along the way. 5/10
