I have read some amazing books but I think the best I have read is a famous book around the world... Cien anos de soledad. This book was written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a colombian man who lived in a little town of the atlantic coast in my country.
The novel was about the story of a enormous family and their lives in that town where the writter lived. It is very interesting because there were many relationships between the family, and you can find some adventures they had because of their hard life, for example. The story has government, religious and culture topics as well, by the way, I think the novel is a pretty good way to know the colombian situation about sixty years ago.
I liked this novel because the writter gives a lot of details thorough all the book and I felt really into the story. Magic realism is the kind of literature he writes, then I can understand the context and the atmosphere of the story and at the same time I can think in maybe unreal places and characters. Finally, in my opinion, this book es a wonderful opportunity for teenagers and people of all ages, to learn and know more about the colombian context last century.
Diego: I liked that book, the only thing is that there is a lot of names and sometimes could be very confusing. Actualy, the edition that i read had a family tree to help you to follow the story.
