Book Reviews of One Hundred Years of Solitude
Book Review: The Greatest Ending
Summary: 5 Stars
Like many others, I had quite a hard time "getting into" this book. However, once I'd traversed the first half, I understood that what I was reading was a story like no other I'd come across. There was also a feeling that something glorious was going to happen at the end. I think I was right: This is the greatest ending I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It is also the only time I've ever shed a tear while reading a novel. Pure genius.Book Review: OWESOME, but 1 question remained
Summary: 5 Stars
the story is wonderful in its content and story telling method
it simply flows from future to past and comes back to present and so on
since each character in the story has thier own story and plot, i was wondering what happened to Colonail Orilano's son , who he had from Traiza .. the only thing i knew that he went to the war later on i felt that he disappeared from the story
Book Review: Not for everyone, but if it's for you .... Hold On!!
Summary: 5 Stars
As many reviewers have noted, it is not an easy ready but well worth the time and certainly the effort.
There is love, intrigue, war, life, death, laughter and tears. All told in the classic Latin American Literature style. What more can a reader ask for?
Pick it up, read it and dream about the characters for days.
Book Review: Magical realism at its very best
Summary: 5 Stars
If I could have chosen one gift to bring with me,
. . . to sing like Sinatra, to dance like Astaire,
to paint like Manet, or to putt like Tiger,
it would have been,
. . . to write like Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Book Review: Could be the best Novel ever written
Summary: 5 Stars
This book blew my mind. I can be a bit slow and confusing (there are many characters with the same of very similar names) but the writing is of a caliber seldom seen. The story is intense and the people stick with you for years!
