Review of 'Love in the Time of Cholera' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
The writing (or translation) was beautiful but the book suffered greatly by its incessant descriptions and from a main character for whom I had zero sympathy. He lived his life in the shadows and did nothing but pine for one woman his whole unexceptional life. This isn't romantic, it's absurd and childish. What a waste of a life and what a waste of my time.
