Getting near the end of the list now... Overall I really enjoyed reading Love in the Time of Cholera. There's a lot to digest and think about here. It is beautifully written and and really makes one think about life and all of its various stages. Anyway, I'm close to giving it an A+ but just the subplot about America Vicuna bothers me a bit. It seems to be in there to make the reader not like Florentino but why? Throughout the book I though he was a pretty weird guy and I don't know if I really sympathized with him but I didn't actively dislike him. It doesn't seem important to the overall story either - and I feel like it casts a shadow over the ending. What if Fermina found out about her? How would she react? So "only" an A.
