I only rated it low because of personal preference. I can certainly see why it's a book within the canon. I don't love magical realism, and I did not know many of the references, so I spent a good deal of time researching people and terms. I recommend this book, but it's time consuming if you want to really be engaged with the style, and the references and their importance.
