5.0
It's one of the best books that I have read .
It can be funny at times like Jose Arcadio "the first one" with his inventions and failures.
Accurate at a time like the historical events of the banana company.
Philosophical with questions like destiny and predeterminism , how characters can't escape their destiny and even how their names of birth can reflect their characters!
About power and corruption, how sane people can turn mad after tasting power.
About happiness , how new people whether from a country scale or family-gossip perspective can ruin someone's life.
About technological progress, if it makes us better in terms of well being or is it creating more problems and discomforts ? Especially with AI and our modern age.
I can keep asking questions but the moral of the story is don't be Like the Arcadio be like the Aureliano or was it the reverse. ..Let me check the first page where the family three is located.
