One Hundred Years of Solitude

I'm giving the book three stars because the writing is beautiful, and that's the only reason I could finish reading it. In terms of the plot, it's just not my cup of tea. I found it very dull and I was losing interest every 5 minutes. Truly a struggle to read. I can see why others would like it. But I place the novel up there with The Great Gatsby: beautifully written, but no substantial plot that could hold my interest. I was just bored the entire time.

So, whether you enjoy this book will come down to if you like the writing and if the plot is interesting to you. I only enjoyed the writing, but I wanted to read the novel before Netflix makes it a film. But now I'm even debating if the film would interest me since the writing is taken away.

Either way, I think everyone should at least try reading it since it is a classic and the writing is worth reading, at least for a few chapters.
The analogies the author makes are somewhat strange when you first read them, but totally spot on.
