This wad a one time read for me, but worth it to read once. It was a very slow at times but quite interesting at times too. It is an early magical realism novel that delves deep into relationships, human nature, how history repeats itself, solitude, progress, family, and civilization. It follows the Buendía family through seven generations starting when José builds a utopian, very isolated city in the middle of a swamp in Colombia. The writing is very beautiful and the setting is described with great detail. The story gets kind of complicated and a lot of characters have the same/similar names so that was a little confusing at times. But I liked how the author really developed the characters and showed the connections of everyone.
< SPOILER BELOW >
Rip like every character in the Buendía you meet, they all go through some hell.
