Chapters 7-11 shift from the first to the second, and all the way up to the fourth of the Buendía family. I cant believe that the colonel escaped from the firing squad. I thougt that he would die at the end of his flashback but insead Márquez surprised me with the arrival of José Arcadio and his shotgun. I was not surprised to read that the colonel continued his military campaign but I thought that his quick surrender was a bit out of character considering how many uprisings he had started. I thougt it was unfortuneate that José Arcadio Segundo died but it did serve him right for deserting the army and what he believed in.
My new least favorite charater is Fernanda. I don't like how she controls the Buendía family and how she seems to tear it apart. Fortuneately her children turned out alright and with the addition of the colonels 17 sons they connect the Macondo the the rest of the world.
