Even so, I don't think I can honestly give the book more than three stars, even for the brilliance of the final chapters. I don't think it makes up for the unnecessarily graphic descriptions of the Buendia family's hereditary vices.

ruth_rb's review against another edition
I had to stop reading this book after 100 pages or so due to the frequency of statutory rape. I understand this may be accurate to the time period, but it made me so uncomfortable and disgusted.
On top of that, I wasn’t attached to any of the characters. The ‘plot’ was fine, but not compelling to the point that I had to force myself not to skip paragraphs.
