This book was very well written and managed to evoke feelings of nostalgia and feel almost historical as you continued reading. It was almost like it became the story of the house and it made me feel things. HOWEVER, the content was difficult. There was so much incest and paedophilia, which just happened constantly and was completely unnecessary but also was not particularly condemned or seen as problematic. There were also points where it just became quite boring. It seems the type of book to study in a lit class but not a particularly enjoyable book outside of that context.

 oved the magical realism aspects but definitely got a bit lost with the story. But I know that's pretty much the point. Maybe one day I will try rereading but for now I don't want to see the names José Arcadio or Aureliano for a long long time.

coconutsharks87's review against another edition

I loved the magical realism aspects and portions of it were beautiful, but I couldn’t get past the continued mentions of incest, rape, grooming, pedophilia, etc. Every time I would find myself enjoying the read, something disturbing would come up to throw me off.
