One Hundred Years of Solitude It has been almost a year since I read this book. Before finishing it, I made many attempts to read it, but the complexity of the story plus the uncountable number of characters and the absence of a main plot, discourage me. But finally, one day, I read it completely. It wasn't easy and I still don't understand why it is considered as one of the most important books of literature. Nevertheless, I can recognise how well written the book is, although neither the story nor the character captivated me.

One Hundred Years of Solitude

 It has been almost a year since I read this book. Before finishing, I had made many attempts to read it, but the complexity of the story, the uncountable number of characters, plus the absence of a main plot, often / greatly discouraged me.

But finally, one day, I read it completely. It wasn't easy and I still don't understand why it is considered as one of the most important works of literature. Nevertheless, I can recognize now how well written the book is, although neither the story nor the characters captivated me.

Good job! Just for making your way through that book I felt compelled to correct your writing! Seriously though, nothing much wrong about your post. I just added a comma to break up that 2nd sentence as I could not say it without taking a breath. Also, I changed the tense on "discouraged"  as you were talking about the past, and finally, I used a "z" instead of an "s" in "recognize" (but perhaps, that is the British spelling of it?). I hope this helps. J.

you know I have attempted two times till now .i think I wont give it a third chance ...however there are some books which I couldn't finish for a totally different reason ...they were so adorably playing with my mind that I had to restart my reading again and again.and every time I could sense that I am getting a deeper insight about the subject just like studying ...

Nooo! Maryla, you have to read it to form your own opinion obout it. In my case I finished it becuse when I start with a new book, then I have to finish it... otherwise I feel guilty. Do you have any recomendation about an Italian author?
