This book was insane, literally. There are moments where it drove me crazy reading the characters with all the same names make the same mistakes over and over again! But it was also nostalgic and sweet and reassuring and everything you want a family narrative to be. There were some issues with how the book discussed race and sexuality, some words and events have not aged well. This being said it was an interesting and complex story that is hard to put into words. I have never read something so meandering but at the same time so driven and focused, I fell in love with the Buendias and their many lives.

Siempre disfruto mucho dem realismo mágico. 
Intenté leer este libro hace muchos años y me exasperó el hecho de que todos se llamaban igual. Esta segunda vez disfruté mucho de la primera parte del libro y pude entender que sus destinos estaban sellados por los nombres, estaban condenados a repetirse.
Me gustó mucho cómo se manejó el tiempo como algo cíclico a pesar de que generalmente odio ese tipo de historias porque creo que forzar a los personajes a terminar en el mismo lugar en el que empezaron estanca su crecimiento y es un retroceso en la mayoría de los casos.
Sin embargo creo que es un libro DEMASIADO largo. La primera parte es muy entretenida pero los personajes de la segunda mitad no son tan interesantes como los de la primera. 
Fernanda es insufrible y sus hijos también, la historia decayó a partir de que ella llegó.

Además de que todo el incesto y la pedofilia me parecieron sumamente desagradables. Esa fue la razón de que no pudiera llegar ni a la mitad del libro la primera vez y saber que es el tema más recurrente en el libro. García Marquez te lo quiere poner como que es el amor y que el último Aureliano terminó con todo porque sí fue concebido con amor pero fue resultado de una relación incestuosa. Es el segundo libro de García Marquez que leo que tiene esos temas y hace que me de miedo leer más de él porque qué perro asco. Espero que se lo hayan comido las hormigas también a él por viejo cochino
