Query: Easy-to-read, but not as good as "Butterflies"

After happening upon "In the Time of the Butterflies", I was delighted to find another Latin author who could mesmerize me as Gabriel Garcia Marquez had continued to do over the past 25 years. But after finally pulling this book off my shelf, I soon learned it could not hold a candle to "Butterflies" in its character development and story thread. I found the characters all blurred together and failed to distinguish themselves from one another and although the backward development of the story was unique, it was a bit confusing if I put the book down with more than a few days in between. All-in-all, I enjoyed this book, but encourage readers to continue on with "Butterflies" for a real treat.
