My Colombia Book Around the World

The plot was...weird. BUT, the writing was strong. And beautiful. This author inspired Isabel Allende—who is perfect. The themes explored of fate and the family you're born into and generational dysfunction is also interesting. His very quick delve into race and ethnicity and how that also may determine your life course at the end also is an interesting statement to explore and I enjoyed that theme. I guess I just didn't really like the method he chose to explore these important themes.... but then again I don't think I'm supposed to :).
