One Hundred Years of Solitude | Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
Pickpick

I've had this on my bookshelf for awhile. I missed a pub quiz question about it so I bumped it to the front and read it. What was I thinking? This book is a treat from start to finish. Exotic, magical, cryptic, and yet so raw and earthy about how we feel about each other. Through feast and famine, life and death, this story rampages forward like a child exploring a toy store. Unpredictable, with Bradbury-like attention to the artful details.

This was a hard one. I only read it because it was for my bookclub and I knew that there will be Tapas at the end of it 😋

Graywacke Oh, it‘s worth it for that picture. Yum. Sorry Marquez‘s magic didn‘t take. 3mo

Read for a challenge with a book by a journalist this was .. a lot. Ex marine turned SBS is now trying out life in the security services when he gets pulled into a twisty issue that would have James Bond shaking his head. It moves very fast from cartels to more traditional enemies of the state and ends up in a rush to solve before a terrible attack. For me there was too much h here and it took away from the story⬇️

Itchyfeetreader Too many characters made it hard to care about anyone.. the girlfriend I was not a fan of, see also head of anti terrorism. All that being said I would probably give the second one a go if it turned up on a special offer ! 3mo
