Review title: Two Hundred Years of Solitude
Product review: Could "The House of the Spirits" be the greatest rip-off in the history of literature?It's like Allende read "One Hundred Years of Solitude" one day and thought, "You know, I really like this story and the way that it's written, except that there's not enough socialism and female empowerment in it. Hmmm...I KNOW, I think I'll REWRITE IT to include more of these aspects and change the characters' and places' names and the title so people will think it's my own book." Well, she did it. It's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" all over again, more politically-correct and less well-written.And now this book is studied in the prestigious International Baccalaureate English program by the smartest and most motivated high school students. It's a sign of the times, where books like this and "Mother to Mother" by Sindiwe Magona are studied over genuine classics in the name of political correctness.
