Book #3 of 2010 is...
Love in the Time of Cholera
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
This book was, to be frank, awful. It says that it is "a love story of astonishing power," but it was a love story that was built up for the first 300 pages and then finally in the last 40 pages when the two main characters FINALLY get to be in love, it is depressing and unrealistic. It took me 10 days just to get through the last 40 pages because I didn't want to read it...it was that awful. It was an Oprah's Book Club book, and that should have clued me in to the awfulness earlier because her books are usually dark and depressing, but this one was also dry and boring. Glad it's done, on to the next book!
