Did not enjoy prose and some form of the family tree must be used to keep track.

Had read it back in highschool, but wanted to re-read this year. A great sur-real tale about 7 generations of the Buendia family, the adventures they all had and the fate of all their members. A small recommendation, make yourself a family tree as and fill in the blanks as characters pop up. There is a lot of name repetition (as is traditional in many families) but it's easy to get lost if you don't know who they are talking about.

Absolute Adore!! Marquez is a master story teller! I love the way time and reality bend and are constantly moving in this story. You will definitely enjoy!

This was not an enjoyable book to read. Not a fan of the writing and I would never read this again. That said the story was very impactful, disturbing and haunting.
