Honderd jaar eenzaamheid by Gabriel García Márquez
4.0
adventurous challenging dark funny lighthearted mysterious reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was such an interesting read and I definitely enjoyed it, but I wish the characters would have gotten more space, especially the women. It is masterfully written, I won't deny that, but the more you read the more extreme it gets, and at some point I'm wondering what's written with a purpose and what is just there for shock value. This definitely felt like literature for men, lol.
