I didn’t especially care for One Hundred Years of Solitude either, but I can’t say I hated it. I wouldn’t have finished reading it, if that were the case. 
I am “borrowing” this meme from you.
I have to say that I didn’t particularly care for LOVE IN THE TIME OF CHOLERA. I disliked it some much that I never finished it. I have ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE on my shelf now, and hoping that I find it better than the other. Unfortunately, I think I may be one of those people who just don’t like Marquez.
Fun meme, though, which I may have to steal!
Great meme. I borrowed it. Hope that’s ok. It’s fun to see how you and I felt on some of the “few” books we’ve both read. I also think we may have swayed each other away from some of the books on the list.
Masterpiece
Excellent
Very good
Good
Just okay
Not for me
Definitely not for me
I couldn’t resist trying this one. I’ve read many of the books. I was very surprised.
