''There is no greater glory than to die for love''- Florentino Ariza (My favorite quote)

If one wishes to understand how beautiful language can get, one needs to read this book. The story revolves around the lives of three persons - Fermina, Florentino and Dr.Urbino. Without serving spoilers, I will say that the story is about the various ways in which relationships can happen. The beauty of sentence construction is what blew me away. As I was reading the book, I could not help but keep appreciating the writer's skill of describing everyday events and people. The scenery just comes to life as you read and you find yourself among the characters. Great read that makes me go for some other masterworks of the same author.

Like black magic it casts a spell on you while reading, after reading and after many days of ruminating and reliving your own exploits of youth, you are still in 'The love in time of cholera'.Come fall in love with this book and fall in love with life again, while the leaves are mellowing and the temples are greying you will still be green in heart.
For a long time in the shelves of my incurably romantic mind i couldn't find a book worthy of being placed beside Wuthering Heights. Now i think it will get company.

The lives of the three protagonists - Fermino Daza, Florentino Ariza, and Dr. Juvenal Urbino are the core of this book. It shows love in it's various avatars, the various shapes and kinds it can take, what happens in a fight of love between a rational person, and a so-called "Hopeless Romantic", and it's various refraction. Marquez in his book shows the various forms and states of human love and in effect educates and typifies the human mind and true love.

Can't say much about the book as of now. Recieved the book just the day before tomorrow. AS usual, Flipkart's service was absolutely swift and user-friendly. Can say this much though, Its gonna be a tale of limitless passion and joyful love, love which is as pure as a newborn's mind. I would recommend this book to anyone. Specially to those readers who like to read literature, and relish its meaning at the same time.
