  Fantastic

  One hundred years of solitude is an excellent book. Garcia Marquez takes us through the lives and times of six generations of Buendia family. The author is a poet who creates a magnificent world of miracles. He talks about drought, flood, tides in his imaginative narration. Aparts from the magic, it also reveals the human feelings like love, lust, talent, disappointment and temptations. Sometimes the story gets so complex that it takes time to understand. It keeps you amazing with the imaginary things that happens. This makes your brain more creative and imaginative than before. Every page unfolds a new fantasy and every sentence is magical. Full of imaginations and fantasy. Great Work. Once you start reading, you will not put it down easily.
