holy shit.

a CLASSIC for a reason.

this is one of those books that i'm going to reread multiple times as i get older and discover new things about it and then it will be 5 stars, but for now, on first rifling through the buendía household, a solid 4.75.

i want a little gold fish :(

classic work of literature but much preferred the beginning the middle civil war bits are complicated and confusing but rly liked the ending 

4.5 realmente (no le doy las 5 porque en varios momentos lo sentí algo denso).

Es algo difícil tratar de hacerle una reseña, así que solamente diré que me fascino, me sentía intimidaba por la mala fama que tiene por la repetición nombres como José Arcadios, Aurelianos, Remedios etc. pero como iba leyendo los estaba ubicando además que son diferentes generaciones.
Disfrute mucho, el final me pareció perfecto y adecuado.
Mi personaje favorito sin duda Úrsula que gran personaje.

Sin duda seguiré leyendo a Gabo.

I'm not a fan of the writing style of this book. While the theme may be strong, many irritating style features, like the constant use of all of a persons names (somewhat explainable by the repetition of names given to multiple characters.)
