“it's really good great book, one of the books that takes you to the heart of what is happening although you belive what is really happining couldn't be true, but still it takes you there... the novel presents a human enigma...how we can understand the meaning of our won lives while we are still living or creating it.”
“I reread this book last summer (my first read was about 20 year ago), and I loved it all over again. For me, it was like entering into a dream world; I understand why it's been labeled as magic realism. One of my all time favorites! I've also read "Love in the Time of Cholera" by Marquez, and would recommend it.”
“I think this is a wonderful book. It is about a truely marvelous family. A lot of things happen that cannot be true, but you almost believe everything. I really loooved this book. Can anyone recommend other books from this author? ”
“It was something more than complicated .... But it had a lot of facts inside it .... for example wars of Colonel Boendia because of pride and repeating things..... and the character of Orsella trying to save his family through his life .... Maybe I should read it 20 years later!”
“Definitely a book to read again. It really took a while to get into because I had to keep trying to keep the characters straight so a second read is a must. ”
“Its a kind of simplicity to saw the complicated things by the easy way. Enjoy magic realism. Recomend it!”
“Great choice I found it hard goin at the start but is rewarding in the end!”
“I first got hold of a copy of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's 100 Hundred years of solitude ( English version ) in 1986 - the year I got married to an amazing person and father of my four children ( all boys , mind you ) . I have read it twice and got to pick up new insights that I had previously missed in my fiirst encounter with Mr. Marquez's book . The plot is about love, tragedy , comedy and the saga of Latin American history.I considered this as one of the 20th Century's best works of fiction. It is a masterpiece not to be missed.”
“anyone recommend this? yes or no? why?”
““quite true... although...at first i hated it and wanted to put it down cause it feels like some sort of biography or family book of this really weird insestuous family... but when i got to the very end... where he finally got the saying "the first in line is tied to a tree and the last is being eaten by ants" it all made sense and i thanked God that i finished the book and didn't put it down.. (cause i was about to) it was really good... although i only felt this way when i finished it and got the chance to reflect on it..its like you hate it when you're in it (in the phase of reading it) but really really really love it when you're out of it and get the chance to think about it....””
