Jim's Review

🐛
This book is like burrowing into a fever dream that somehow makes more sense than real life. Garcia Marquez layers magic on top of reality until you can't tell which is which — and honestly, you stop caring. Jim had to draw a family tree on a napkin just to keep the Aurelianos and Jose Arcadios straight, but it was worth every tangled branch. A masterpiece that worms its way into your soul and never leaves.
