unicorngirl's review against another edition

It was very boring and dragged. Plus, was never really looking forward to reading it, it took a long time to read 60/70 pages, plus I am reading other books that I want to focus on

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.

It took me forever and a day to finish, but I loved this book. I'm struggling to put into words all of my thought because it is hard to adequately describe the story to anyone who hasn't read it. I've never been happier/more proud of getting through a book
