My skin crawls to give any work of Márquez less than 4 stars, but... they shouldn't have done this. And I shouldn't have read it, but the temptation was overwhelming. It read almost as if someone else was mimicking his style (as many have tried and failed to do). I guess that's what happens when you publish a book that wasn't finished by a man that wasn't wanting it published in the first place.
