A review by yasmeina
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez
3.0
I FINALLY FINISHED THIS BOOK!! It didn’t actually take me that long but reading one page felt like it took one hour. Ok anyway
At the beginning I was like ‘this is interesting bc it’s so absurd’ but then the absurd and crazy things kept happening and I kind of stopped caring. I didn’t really see the point of all these absurd things happening other than to draw connections of the family if that makes sense (it probably doesn’t) Also incest. Weird
Anyway the writing itself was easy to follow until there were giant sentences of mini sentences and I started to feel like I was hallucinating. I also liked the ending, partly because I was waiting for this book to be over (sorry) and partly because it was actually comprehensible
I think I’ll reread this in maybe 2 years? And try to REALLY digest every chapter
