it did remind me of my own childhood and my own family despite them being so different. at times silly, at times shockingly emotional. actually gasped near the end (you might know when) and found myself tearing up even though i thought it hadnt affected me much. apparently it did

It was an interesting story that was written well. It just took so long to read that I got tired of the people. It's also essentially the same thing happening again and again to people with the same name so it gets confusing.

A stunning exploration of time and human nature. How did a human mind create this? Reminds me of The Sound and the Fury in the way it enacts the process of time passing and that process's complex relationship with memory, but it does so in a more humorous and whimsical way.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez has a unique voice, and style, that may not necessarily grab you from the first page, but results in a developed, rewarding read.
