This novel taking in six generations of the Buendía family of Macondo is considered one of the candidates for the great novel of the 20th century.

I finished this and explained to my girlfriend that it was great, even though I don't really know what happened in it or to whom and it moved pretty slowly. And she was like well why, then, do you think it was great? And I've been trying to answer that. I mean, I know, but it's one thing to know and...

3.5Reading this book is like dreaming with your eyes open.It’s a long winding dream where logic and meaning are non-existent, where unnatural people lead unnatural lives, where ridiculous things happen, and even though you subconsciously know that everything is a farce, you end up believing all of i...

Long story. Very dense with characters and actually really interesting. The style of writing takes a while to get used to, definitely. But I liked it enough. I'm in awe of his story-telling abilities
