i purposefully didn't keep a family tree in hand while reading this book, and i think it added positively to the experience. i feel as if you're meant to confuse the aurelianos and josés. how time is cyclical and memories are easily vanished.
the last few pages were frenetic and captivating. i do feel as if some parts of the narrative dragged. most of the subject matter is pretty disturbing.
i also think reading this in spanish was incredible. the language used…

Structurally it's great, language is plain and matter-of-fact, characters are entirely reprehensible.
I don't like the narration style, I would prefer something with a bit more depth.
Also, the second to last chapter is shit and should have been left out entirely.
