This is another example of my complete shock that this book is on the top books list of all time. This book is filled with annoying, dishonest, immoral ridiculous characters and storylines.
I don’t like any of these characters. Formina seems to be the most normal rational person. Florentino is an idiot who sleeps with anything that breathes but not sure if that is even a criteria he holds high on any list. He is also a pedophile as a 72 year old man who woos a 14 year old girl with lullabies and removing her saddle shoes. Disgusting. I’m concerned for this author that it is written so callously like this a normal thing we should all be ok with. It’s disgusting!!
