Book Reviews of One Hundred Years of Solitude (P.S.)
Book Review: Hater of Magic
Summary: 5 Stars
I knew I would hate the book. I can't stand magic, fantasy books or huge sprawling books. The short elegant novel is for me. But I thought I'd just try a few pages. A day later, my work copletely ignored, I emerged exhausted but exilerated. Yet, this is one of the greatest books I've ever read and I have reread it now several times, always amazed at the power and beauty of the writing.Book Review: Yoo Hoo -- Nobel Prize
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Amazon, but sometimes the book reviews are a little amazing. The author of this book won the Nobel Prize, largely for this book. It would probably make the top-25-of-all-time list of most reviewers. You would have little clue to the significance of the book by reading the reviews shown on the Amazon site -- one by Amazon and one by the Libary Journal. Snore.Book Review: Stunning literary masterpeice
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a stunning literary masterpiece. It takes some patience to get into but once you are involved in the story, it is difficult to put down. God, after I finished reading the book it felt like I went into shock. The prose is gorgeous but it is the larger story, stories within stories, and metaphors that are so striking. Will stay with me for the rest of my life.Book Review: Not easy to read, but worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
It's a sophisticated read with MANY subplots (most of which include characters with the same name). It can be confusing at times, but it's a good book once you learn each character. I read this book 5 times since 2008 and each time I read it, I discover something new. Don't expect a book you can just read once and move on with your life. It's not that simple.Book Review: WOW
Summary: 5 Stars
wow is all i have to say. this is the third book i read from garcia marquez and i think i like this book the best (or at least so far). it's like reading a dream, his words flow like water and keep you turning the pages. it's a little hard to follow with all the names at times and a little strong on some issues. but i wouldn't have it any other way.
