Chronicle of a Death Foretold

So wading my way through my 10-book Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez collection and having read 4 and given them each 2 stars or less - this is where perseverance finally gets of its ass and rewards me, as undeterred, I read this and lo and behold, I really enjoyed it!
Why? One word - storytelling! This is just a wonderfully immersive and captivating story, of a death foretold! Now my Gabriel GarcÃa Márquez curse is broken I hope the dam is bust and that my mind now 'gets' his work. A well deserved 8.5 out of 12.

This was the first of Márquez's books I read back when I was still school age, and I think this one and "One Hundred Years of Solitude" are the only ones that have aged well for me. I have a friend that says this is his best book, going against the popular vote. :)
