3.0

I’m not sure what I was expecting, but this was v much not the book for me. There were moments when I’d get really into the style of the writing, but something like pedophilia, incest, racism, or violence would take me out of it again. Not to mention all the times I needed to consult a family tree to get characters straight.

This is my first book by Marquez and it will definitely not be the last. There were a lot of great themes and funny parts in this book that I don’t really even know what I should say about it. 

I see why it is a classic and recommend everyone reads it at least once to know what’s it all about.
