this truly was one of the wildest books I've ever read. Some of the scenes will forever be engraved in my brain. Like flowers blooming from dentures, like line of blood crossing the town of Macondo and many more. I find it really interesting how Aureliano, at the end of the family line claimed that the last Aureliano (who is the only one with the pig's tail) was the only child made from love when it was with him that the line stopped. It goes with the fact that the family so engulfed with solitude would end with two people who were never alone because they had each other. Even though this book is full of incest and the characters are at time horrible people I think I will re-read this book many times in my life. Hopefully during summer months because nothing describes summer better then the scene where it is so humid that fish start to swim in the sky.

I see why it is a classic and recommend everyone reads it at least once to know what’s it all about.

The decrepit lawyers dressed in black who during other times had besieged Colonel Aureliano Buendía and who now were controlled by the banana company dismissed those demands with decisions that seemed like acts of magic.
Fernanda viewed her as an undesirable witness of her shame and lamented the fact that they had abandoned the medieval custom of hanging a messenger who bore bad news.
