This was a surprisingly smooth and quick read. The elements of magical realism together with the jungle town and expansive and looping family history really effectively create a dreamlike and colourful atmosphere that was a joy to come back to every evening. You do have to accept that aspects of the book are rather repetitive and the recurring names for different family members are confusing, but this is by design. I found that as soon as you allowed the family's circular motion to simply turn, it was very freeing, but I can understand other reviewers who were turned off by it.

I also wish Márquez had found different metaphors at times than incest ×5 or so

I had to read this for a class and I just hated it. The way he describes women is disgusting. The amount of incest and pedophilia made me want to throw up. it’s awful.
