Love in the Time of Cholera

I had heard such wonderful things about this book but I was really disappointed. It was toted as a wonderful love story but was a story about a weird little man who thought he was in love with a self absorbed shallow woman. Did not care for either of the main characters.
I also did not care for the author's writing style. He would start to develop the story and go off on tangent and ramble on and on about nothing. One sentence would be an entire paragraph. The best part of the book was his description of coastal Columbia and the culture. The only reason I plowed through it was I wanted to see how it ended. On the positive side--if I was having trouble sleeping, I would read a few pages and be sound asleep.
