Story
When the windshield of his Chevy Impala shatters in a dark diner parking lot in Alabama, Melvin moves without thinking. A split-second reaction marrows in his bones from the days of war, but this time it is the safety of his fiancé, Bernadette, at stake. Impulse keeps them alive, and yet they flee with blood on their hands. What is life like now that they are fugitives? Pack passports. Empty bank accounts. Set their old life on fire. The couple disguise themselves as a pastor and a reluctant pastor’s wife who’s hiding a secret from her fiancé.

The historical background of Dr. Nkrumah's overthrow by the CIA. The plot is tight as well.

The shootout between Melvin and Kwesi. Too evocative of American crime TV. But I'll recommend this book to all my friends!

Story
One of the 20th century's enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize-winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.

Stupendous Story!

I came to this novel upon the recommendation of a respected novelist and friend, so my expectations were high. But they were dwarfed by the sheer magnitude of theme and the magnificence of the storytelling. This novel was worth more than the hype! Everyone must read this novel before they die.

Eye-opening! I've already started practicing some of the concepts. And my debut novel, which I stopped working on, has suddenly taken on a new life!
