Will be thinking about this for ages. The magical realism is so cool to me, it feels different from fantasy in that it's just what the world felt like back then. Magical happenings and tales told between towns were real. The characters are all EXTREMELY flawed, which is a main draw of the book. The way it's written is exactly what I like. Not too much flowery language, getting to the meat of what's happening.

I've decided if a man told me this was his favorite book, it's a red flag.

woowowowowow. This was an experience ! uhm. I liked what it had to say about latin america as a latine myself. All of the characters were detailed. I would have rated it 5 stars if it weren't for racist tropes towards characters who weren't the Buendia's as well as that whole end with heavy sexual content that was just disturbing! : D also the way it wrote women was,,,,,, conflicting.
