Summary: This one is it.
Review: When I finished this book, I closed it and almost started laughing and crying at the same time. Laughing, because it is so wonderfully and joyously alive. Crying, because I would never again have the opportunity to read it for the first time. Simply marvelous. Everyone in the world owes it to themselves to read this book.

Summary: Fine, if you're that way inclined
Review: Pretty easy to read, but a load of tosh, drivel,whatever you call it. I see the comparisons with Rushdie here. If you're into this sort of writing then fine. Read Rabelais instead, at least you get a bit of a chuckle.

Summary: A work of genious!
Review: Reading a Hundred Years of Solitude is a total experience that dominates one's existence while engaged in it. It was even better the second time I read it, and I rarely read a book twice. Garcia Marquez sets a standard for this genre of magical realism that authors, like Rushdie, try to match, but so far no one has come close. The evolution of Macondo and the Buendia family is so alive and captivating with it's tale of tragedy laced with humor as the modern world invades it. Melquiadez, the visiting gypsy also plays a major role, and one is haunted by his presence even after his death. If you haven't read this book, your missing a major work in 20th century literature. This book will become one of the great classics of all times. To read it in Spanish must be even more of an experience, but the English translation is excellent. Just writing this review makes me want to read it a third time, there's so much going on, the reader is never bored.

Summary: One of the best told stories I've ever read.
Review: Fantastic and yet so real at the same time. The rich descriptions and the easy flow of the stories makes you forget that you are reading, and instead feels like a reciting of (family) history that has been passed orally for many generations. Marquez is an excellent storyteller!The only difficulty was in keeping the names of the different characters straight if you're not familiary with hispanic names.

Summary: We are all condemmed to One Hundred Years of Solitude!!
Review: As we end the millenium, and we as 'modern men' continue to replace 'solitude with sex' and by thus creating the same spiral cycle we cannot escape,we are all condemmed to one hundred years of solitude. As I turn forty this year, it has been 25 years ago when Gabo gave me his novel to read. I've read it every autumn since then.It's still a wonderous masterpiece!

Summary: the most dramatic, tightly-written piece of fiction ever!
Review: i read this novel in a literature class, and was amazed by the technique as much as the content. every page tells not one story, but several...every incident is magical and true at the same time...never before has the "end" been so suspenseful and inevitable at once...brilliant!

Summary: Twenty-four year search is over
Review: I read "100 Years" as a seventh grader in 1973 - and have searched for a replacement (someone permanently borrowed my copy) since! No other author made an impression on me as did Mr. Garcia-Marquez - for those who enjoy the "impossible, but hey, it could happen", this is a must read for all ages!
