Review of One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

       One Hundred Years of Solitude is the story of six generations of the Buendia family and the changes that occur over more than 100 years in the town the family helped found.  Taking the reader seemlessly from generation to generation, the book shows the good and bad of the Buendia family.

       While far-fetched and unreal at times (one character, Remedios the Beautiful, even ascended up to heaven while family members watched), the story concludes with a clever ending that is predicted in the mysterious parchment papers and decoded by the last Buendia.  A very different book that is rich in character development and plot twists, One Hundred Years of Solitude stands the test of time.
