Review:
Marquez uses his novelist's instinct for emotional drama to give the reader a wonderfully immediate sense of his subjects' ordeal: their spiraling hopes and fears, their fantasies of escape, their desperation and despair. (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times)
Compellingly readable. A book with all the panache of Márquez's fiction, hitting home rather harder (The Sunday Times)
A story only a writer of Márquez's stature could tell so brilliantly. A tour de force (Mail on Sunday)
The great strength of the book is the authority of its details. There is so much here that, as we say, no one would make up (Guardian)
