Product Description:
In their youth, Florentino Ariza and Fermina Daza fall passionately in love. When Fermina eventually chooses to marry a wealthy, well-born doctor, Florentino is devastated, but he is a romantic. As he rises in his business career he whiles away the years in 622 affairs--yet he reserves his heart for Fermina. Her husband dies at last, and Florentino purposefully attends the funeral. Fifty years, nine months, and four days after he first declared his love for Fermina, he will do so again.

- It doesn't get any more difficult to read a book than this.I tried and tried and tried and tried to finish this book, and finally did, THREE MONTHS LATER, and I read Moby Dick in 48 hours (college assignment, 48 hours, no sleep, even read it in the tub). I am not a slow reader.
There just wasn't enough to keep you interested in this story, and not even any chapters to give you a good stopping point. Every time I picked up the book to read, which was almost every night in bed, I would have to re-read the last four or five pages just to remember ... Read More

- More like: Love in the Time of Don't-bother-aI gave this book 2 stars, because I reserve 1 star for the books that I stop reading before even getting to the end. This one I actually finished, even though it took me 10 months to get through the entire thing. I only read it when I was on travel for work, because I didn't have any desire to pick it up otherwise.
In the book, the plot didn't move much past the description on the book jacket, and the lack of plot movement is what made it uninteresting to read. The prose is very ... Read More

- On the fenceI don't know what to say. I didn't exactly love the book, but neither did i hate it. The love story itself is weird, irrational, shallow and totally forgettable.
The main protagonist, the young Florentino Ariza, a man of questionable lineage and reputation, falls in love with Fermina Daza, the daughter of an ambitious mule trader, Lorenzo Daza. Fermina accepts Florentino's proposal of love, but soon breaks it when she realizes that she doesn't truly love the man as much as pity him. ... Read More

- not worth the time or moneyugh. stupid oprah. should've read the one-star reviews first before purchasing it at the time. forced myself to read it in hopes there'd be some sort of enlightenment, but to no avail. read about fifty pages and quit.

- Beautifully Written, Plot-less YawnIt took me two weeks to read this book. I can't remember the last time it took me two weeks to a read a book, probably because it has never happened. I usually read a book in a day or two, three at most. This novel has no plot. Nothing happens. While I appreciate Marquez's eloquent prose, revealing ideas and timeless characters, nothing ever happens. I kept waiting, and reading, and waiting....all the way to the end.
I hope I do not come across as a bitter cynic because I know the underlying ... Read More
