If it's possible to like the writing and still find it very dull, that's how I felt about this book. I know it's a book about waiting, but that didn't really excite me. It seems like a book where a whole lot of nothing happens except at the very beginning and at the very end. Meh.

I loved A Hundred Years of Solitude, so I was disappointed I did not like this book. All throughout this one, I just wanted to throttle Florentino Ariza and put both of us out of his misery.
