Summary: An immortal novel with musical chime
Review: One Hundred Years of Solitude: made me fall in love with literature. One Hundred Years of Solitude: inspired me to dream and cry in solitary. One Hundred Years of Solitude: scraped away all the rigidity from my hardened soul. One Hundred Years of Solitude: showed me the world of dispair in multi-colored rainbow. One Hundred Years of Solitude is the best of the best and I will always cherish its musical chime in my heart as long as I live. I just wish that all the human souls are exposed to this beautifully crafted dreamy novel, at least once in their mortal life time.

Summary: 10,000 years in print
Review: In 10,000 years, when most of the world's literature is lost and forgotten, this book will still be read. Like "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Les Miserables", I will read it again and again until my eyesite fails. Then my childen will read it aloud to me. Then I can die.

Summary: Macondo, la capital del mundo
Review: Gracias a este libro recien llegamos a descubrir que toda la humanidad habito en algun momento en Macondo. Olvidensen de las grandes civilizaciones del pasado, este pueblo perdido lo abarca todo, amor, odio, guerras. Y los Buendia son como cualquier ser humano de este planeta. Esta novela son de las que se leen de un tiron, no importa que afuera pase un viento huracanado como el que destruye al pueblo al final. Al cerrar la ultima pagina todos llevamos algo de Macondo dentro de nosotros.

Summary: A Victory of Literature
Review: A professor suggested Marquez's novel to me a few weeks ago. He has a doctorate in English (creative writing is his specialty) and suggested the novel to a graduating Master's student that felt undereducated. I found the work to be profound, enjoyable, and magical. Marquez is unparalleled in his art. Reviewing some of the previous comments, I am saddened by some of the negative comments. I encourage anyone to read the novel and to allow themselves to be pulled into Marquez's Macondo, from which you may gain new perspectives on time, age, personality, knowledge, details, worth, courage, fear, history, beauty, perception, magic, life, and love. I hope you will enjoy this novel as much as I did and praise it as long as the stars shall shine. This work is a victory of literature. -Foolish Buddha

Summary: El placer de narrar
Review: Obra cumbre de la literatura universal del siglo xx. Auténtico prodigio de imaginación y fantasía, recuperamos con él el gusto por escuchar viejas historias llenas de magia, ternura, humor... Ningún autor narra tan magistralmente como GGM y su castellano es tan fecundo como sorprendente. Aviso: se corre el riesgo de enamorarse del libro, de sus personajes (yo lo estoy de Úrsula, junto con Lady Chatterley el mejor personaje femenino de este siglo),de Macondo...

Summary: Perfect
Review: This is the definition of literature. Years from now, when this age in art history is named Magic Realism or something like that, this book will be its definition. I dare a serious, mature reader to pick this book up and not at least admire the writing. And the ending is something else altogether. Garcia-Marquez leaves the reader to ponder it. I promise that if you pick it up, finish it, and think about it, you will realize that it has the most wonderful, important, and intelligent endings ever written. The realization of it for the reader is almost overpowering. I'm only 17, and I know I will read this book many more times in my life. A MASTERPIECE.

Summary: The story of humanity--its life and loves--in one book.
Review: I've read some of his short stories and, frankly, they were mere preludes to this emotive tome. It has the ability to pull all your vital strings and does so with impunity. I laughed at the descriptions of some of the characters not only because Garcia Marquez's words were humorous but because some part of me needed to laugh. As the blurbs on the book say, this book simply draws you into its depths where you swim in his words, and finally after 400 pages you emerge a changed, better person. It gives you a lot to think about. I can't recommend this book enough. I shudder to think that I waited so long in opening its pages. My Spanish teacher was right.....
