catarinalobo's review against another edition

4.0

The book is a good intro to Gabo’s world: Macondo, death, solitude, the latin america athmosfere...

Although, Gabo’s style is not very refined in this one - because it is his first work. It is not relly magic realism yeat, but gives a nice view of what is coming.

No se que me pasó con este libro, creo que simplemente no era para mi. Logre conectar con la historia pero no entendí bien lo que estaba pasando, a lo mejor es porque no he leído todos los libros que están situados en este mismo universo literario.

Me gustó que vaya cambiando los puntos de vista con la familia principal, aunque me gustaría saber el punto de vista del doctor. Aunque es común que Gabo deje sus historias con detalles sin responder y a libre interpretación, sería interesante saber qué pasaba por su mente al hacer todo lo que hacía hasta el momento de su muerte.
