One Hundred Years of Solitude

Despite what some say, this book is not that hard to read, nor is that confusing. You just have to read it and enjoy it without tripping about every single detail. In this book, thats not what matters. In this book, its the big picture that matters.
Fact of the matter is some people like magical realism, while some do not. Some don't understand it and some do. That's fine and there's nothing wrong with either one. But it is also a fact that this book is one of the most important and influential books in Latin American literature and if you get into the groove of it, its an amazing and enjoyable read. I found myself turning the pages because the writing, style and overall uniqueness of it kept me interested. Also, Marques is blessed to have a very good translator (I've read some of this work in spanish)
And for those who are wondering: The end really is the best part; my heart was literally racing and I could not stop reading the last chapter or two.
