This book had some great parts and lines. Normally I love magical realism but this failed to hook me. It might have been the translation or the being American and not having a deep understanding of European history so some of the references did not have the same emotional pull for me. I enjoyed the plot overall but there was enough feeling of trudging through the book compared to actually enjoying the process that it gets 3 stars from me. Good but a lot of drawbacks.
