One Hundred Years of Solitude

A Ted-Ed directed me here one day. A novel with seven generations.

The novel's abundant characters remind me of Mahabharat, funnily enough, the tragedies and wrong decisions made by the members seem so too.

I didn't actually read the book, I was enjoying the amazing audiobook by Audible. I had audible for 2 months and this was my first purchase there.

(SPOILERS MIGHT BE THERE)

Coming to the book, beginning with the passion what i enjoyed were

: Between MEME and MAURICIO,

:Amaranta Ursula and Aureliano

: Rebecca and Arcadio

I really enjoyed the end and how the palms turned out.

The characters I enjoyed:

• Rebecca

• Remedios

• Remedios the Beauty

I enjoyed the audiobook in breaks in the tormenting times of COVID for over a month.

The book was read by John Lee and sounded so good, especially the acting out of the ladies and old people.

I found the intricacy of normal life is woven into the towel of time, magnificent.

I will highly recommend this book to all people who are into complicated stuff about life.

I probably will read 'Love in times of cholera' because I completely enjoyed the way the story unfolded.

Learned about:

•Magical realism

•How time can be denoted differently, in a cycle... '''circle of life''' plays in the background

•How many characters can be fun? I remember not being able to read Enid Blyton's famous five because of too many names as a teen (laughs at my foolishness)

TIP: Keep looking at the family tree of the Buendía family. You may be needing it because names keep on repeating.

Videos I recommend watching before reading it:
