“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....””
“i am having trouble getting into this book. i really cant get myself into it. did anyone else have this problem?”
“HELLO where I can read this book online???”
“well, its a wonderful wonderful book. All the people i know who have read it, either say they love it or they hate it. And when you hear someone saying they hate it, you feel such pity for that person, because its clear that he/she never understood the depth of this novel. A must read if you really want to read something good.”
“Un libro muy bueno, hace tiempo que lo lei, pero recuerdo lo atrapante de la historia y esos elementos de realismo fantastico, que en mi opinion junto con el recorrido por el tiempo de una familia y su pueblo, son la combinacion para hacer de este libro una lectura indispensable. saludos! desde Argentina”

“I think this book is a scientific analysis of the isolation of a village.. I feel that the author has performed a thought experiment and has written it down.. an amazing read if you can analyse it. Brings to perspective certain situations beautifully and leaves one with a sense of doubt and "hopelessness". Marquez is revealed to be a very strong manipulator of human emotions through this book.”
“Don't read this book ! just if you have problem to make relation between things.if you are even too lazy to think ! if you are looking for a simple book with no challenge !but read it,if you have a powerful and amazing mind to read one of the greatest books that I'd read. :)”
