Summary: a slow but promising beginning
Comment: Gabriel Garcia Marquez is certainly a great writer and his Nobel Prize is no fluke. However, this is a collection of his early stories with most dating back to the late 1940's and early 1950's. It is interesting to see the early focus on the out-of-body, after-life and other-worldly experiences that lead the author toward the eventual "magic realism". That doesn't mean that they're good stories to read. In fact, I found most stories (other than the title story) to be rather tedious reading even as short as most of them were. "Innocent Erendira" is a good example of the author's polished style and stands as a contrast to the other works. Some sort of editing mishap has the book lead with "Innocent Erendira" rather than closing with it. Thus we see the best in the beginning and watch the rest go down hill rather than build up to the climax (as should have been done). I have often made it a point to read all of a favorite author's works and Garcia Marquez is certainly a favorite of mine. However, I have learned that even greatness has its' measure of mediocrity. This book is a reminder of that.

Summary: muy interesante
Comment: I read this book as well as watched the movie for my Spanish 495 class at school and thought that it was one of the more interesting of the books that we read, among el reino de este mundo, and pedro páramo. It had so much simbolism and meaning to it. I recommend it for fun, as well as for a course. It's fairly short, but with a lot of meaning behind it.
Rating: 4
Summary: Colorful and easy to read.
Comment: Start off with "100 Years of Solitude", and then enjoy these short stories, they will take you back to a magical time that used to be. Marquez weaves his magic best in long, heady volumes, but these stories are not-to-be-missed for any fan of Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
