A review by ruth_rb
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez
Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
DNF
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.
