taylorjayne's review against another edition

No absolutely not. I cannot read about literal children who's bodies are sold and who are married when they literally don't know how to clean themselves. Where's the brain bleach? DNF'd

haleybird's review against another edition

I couldn’t get into it, and though I understand that many family histories involve incest, rape, pedophilia, and prostitution, the way all of these things were presented just rubbed me the wrong way. I also didn’t feel like the characters had much depth, and I found myself wishing certain plot points would just move along (like the random “insomnia” epidemic). I can appreciate that this is a much loved book and that the author won the Nobel Prize for Literature, but it’s just not for me.

I’m sure this id a great book for someone who gets it. But I sure didn’t understand it at all. Big content warning in this one, for literally every category you can think of. The biggest mystery left for me is WHY everyone had to have the same name???

emireads's review against another edition

Made it 150 pages in. I get that this book is a multi generational saga, but why does every character HAVE to have the same name. Above all, why is there so much incest?! I kept waiting for this to be revolutionary for me but I don’t want to waste my time any more.  
I also don’t love magical realism
