    <body><![CDATA[Amazing, just amazing.  Gerald Martin kept me reading, barely able to put this book down.  I must, however, warn that this remarkable book is probably aimed for a couple of special audiences: First,the readers who are big fans of Garcia Marquez and who have read many of his works.

    <body><![CDATA[Martin's biography is fully researched and meticulously documented, but I would have preferred if he had brought his subject more to life. Quotes from some of Garcia Marqez's contemporaries and friends are of interest, but the book is altogether too slow and pedantic. Garcia Marquez at Martin's hand...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63161220">more...</a>]]></body>
