Well, this was truly something. A tragedy of a cursed and doomed family in Colombia over a period of 100 years. There were parts that blew me away and parts that hollowed me out. Disgusting parts. I just don't understand how people love it so much, how that word can be used for it I don't know. It is an amazing and affecting, wondrous and likely important work. But I did not love it.

This was off-putting, to say the least. I became frustrated with the incest and other weird sexual interactions. After looking up plot summaries and themes, and reading a hundred pages, i’ve decided the message is not worth sitting through this shit.

You need to be in the mindspace to focus completely on the plot or you will get lost.
