Binding is Terrible for this version
Rating:
2 / 5
Don't be fooled by a cute cover and cheap price. The binding for this edition of the book is terrible. I have gone through three books (and I take good care) because all the pages have fallen out just from bending the book back and forth.
I love Garcia Marquez and he is somebody you will want to read again. But this paperback edition won't allow it - the book will break first!!!
Thanks.
En otras palabras, este edicion del libro es de calidad terrible. Ya han roto tres copias del mismo libro en un mes de estudiarlo, que mucho que trato no romperlo.
Escoga otra edicion si quiere comprar este novela fantastica.
INCREIBLE

Es increible conocer el final de un libro y aun as� estar tan intrigado por como sucede o como se llega al final del libro. Garc�a Marquez titula claramente su obra Cr�nica de una Muerte Anunciada porque desde el primer par de hojas ya sabemos que Santiago Nassar va a ser asesinado. Increiblemente las dudas de como? porque? donde? y quien? empiezan a resolverse a lo largo de las p�ginas. Al final, armamos el rompecabezas, y todo parece caer en su lugar. Definitivamente es una de las mejores obras descriptivas de lengua espa�ola, y definitivamente una historia que se debe leer y que se va a recordar.
Worth the time and price

I might as well write this in English. Since this site is viewed mainly by english speaking readers.This book is not surprisingly a Very good work by G G Marquez. It is well crafted throughout, and does not bore easily like other books in Spanish (there are lots). It is so well written that you will remember it 5 and 10 years from the first chance. The othern reviews tell very well what happens in the story. It tells our Latin American cutlure very well, from its names, sounds and traditions/folklore. I am going to purchase 'Amor en tiempos de colera', which is sadi to be a book created as sort of sequel to this one. Santiago Nasar , and the Vicaria family, along with the rest of the inhabitants of the Colombian town in which the book takes place will startle you as one of the best cronicles written, at 105 pages only.
