No

Yes
This is a book to read for the lush writing and magical realism, but not if you want a book where you like the characters.
The circular downfall of Macondo was like watching an incestuous, hedonistic train wreck in slow motion, but Marquez's writing has you unable to look away.
Ursula deserved better than the men of her family acting like dogs tbh.
