A review by 18ck
One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez

4.0

I remember reading this as a student at the University of East Anglia because it was THE book if you wanted to show yourself to be all the things a student at the University of East Anglia wanted to be. And I actually did love it. Revisiting it now though, maybe my brain is slower or maybe the book isn't bathed in the same divine glow because I actually found it a bit daunting with so many characters all having almost exactly the same name and things just happening for no apparent reason and... But 4 stars anyway because I still remember what it was like to be that twentysomething in the late eighties in search of meaning.
