    I was excited by the description of this story but disappointed by the book itself. I'm an avid reader and had to push myself to keep reading it. It just did not hold my interest and the story seemed to waffle around. I would not recommend it.

    Beautifully Haunting

    From the first paragraph, you can tell that Carlos Ruiz Zafron has a created a world so chilling and gripping that it will always leave you wanting more. The entire time I read, I was torn between continuing on into the wee hours of the morning, and pacing myself so as to hold on to the characters a little longer. My favourite of his novels so far, Shadow of the Wind was timeless for me, and something that I know I'll enjoy just as much the second time.

    LOVED IT

    First few pages I wasn't sure, but then became completely engrossed in the lives of the characters. Intrigue, suspense, romance, some violence, all in this novel. Worth a read.

    A Brilliant Story

    When I first read the summary on the back of this book I honestly wasn't too sure I wanted to read it. I'm glad that I was convinced otherwise. This book grabbed me from the beginning and took me on a journey that I won't soon forget and introduced me to characters that I will remember for quite awhile I'm sure. Carlos Ruiz Zafon has spun a story that completely takes you in, you can see the city in your mind and the writing throughout is beautiful and left me wanting more.
    If you're looking for a great story, something you can really sink your teeth into, something that will carry you away, this is a book you should definitely consider reading.
