One Hundred Years of Solitude- Gabriel Garcia Marquez
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we want to know what you think is the best book ever written (plenty of scope there then). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

You can smell and feel the tropical heat emanating from Marquez's words. A truly amazing book - didn't want it to end. My all time favourite book ever!

I hated this book. I read it after Love in the Time of Cholera which I thought was great. I don't like magic realism so probably should have realised this wasn't for me. I was stupidly swayed by the reviews on the dustcover saying this book had changed people's lives. I kept on expecting to get it as I turned the last page but still didn't. Really resented wasting all that time reading it.
