really liked it

I really enjoyed this book at times but found it extremely long-winded at others. I love the ruminations on society using the characters as mouthpieces but it takes a special kind of fortitude to read through 5 - 10 page small print of one character monologuing. Overall the book is beautiful and anyone who enjoyed 100 years of solitude from Marquez or similar works should definitely check this out.
