Book Reviews of One Hundred Years Of Solitude( Series - Harper Perennial Modern Classics )
Compulsory Reading Review by Sumit SharmaThe magnitude of imagination and a statement which sporadically alerts you of what's coming next keep you grossed and wondering and reading the book in the funny positions that only the people around can notice. An intriguing, innovative and marvelously translated novel. You want to read it again and again, the book demands it. The simplicity of characters and complexity of story provokes a revision time and again, just when you realise that after having read it five times over what you'd missed out on. A noble investment, make it.
One Hundred Years of Solitude: A Good Read Review by MellissaAs a book, this fiction unsettled me. However, in parts it was also very funny. I had to read it for A.P. English, and though it was the longest book I've ever read, I actually enjoyed it. Although it didn't change my life or anything, I am glad that I read it.
