Book freaks discussion

This is the discussion thread for the July-August 2013 Book Freaks read, Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcí­a Márquez! Please post any thoughts, comments or feelings you have about the book regardless of whether you've read the book before or if you are reading it for the first time!

I read this book last July.

Short tale about a murder ....... tracing it from the actual murder backwards ....why it happened.....how it happened....the reasons, etc.

The whys and wherefores........in a small town near the Carribean Sea.....surprise twists and turns at one point in particular.

By the very end, you realize how good a tale it is. At one point, it dragged a bit but by tale's end....WOW!

Kathy I felt the same way! At first I was very confused and worried if the story would hold my attention, since you practically know everything that's going to happen from the very beginning! However, the story assayed all of my worries and delivered on all the credits to fame it has!

This book has been hiding in my bookcase for a really long time...I don't know why I postponed reading it, but I guess it's finally time to get into it!

Does anyone have an e-copy or copy they want to send/share?

Hi Elizabeth,
I wish I could help but I have a Hardcover and I'm too far away but I found out that they have it on Scribd. Even if you don't have an account there it's very easy to make one. Enjoy reading it! :)
