Books!

Highly recommend!

The reader can find him/herself  relating to the main character throughout the book. The journey of realizing one's true destiny becomes the ultimate goal, and the reader can find this to be a self-help book, one that helps them realize their own legend.  Easy book to read with a wonderful and magical plot about knowledge, destiny and fulfillment.

Right of the bat, this book is not for everyone.  García Márquez is a magic realist, so the plot may be odd for those that aren't open to imagination and that prefer a more realistic view. But, I recommend this book to those who desire a great passionate love story that explains the many forms of love; love becomes convincingly identical to a disease, moreover Cholera.
