Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating:  out of 5 stars - Masterpiece!!!
If you can read Spanish, this is a must. The plot of the book is simple, yet addictive after the first few pages. One really gets the felling of being in Barcelona at the time.
I could say more, but I wouldn't want to spoil such an captivating book.


Rating:  out of 5 stars - Just for entertainment...
I won't lie.. I'm a bit surprised by all the praise this book has received. Mr. Ruiz Zafón is indeed a talented writer, but comparing him to García Márquez and Borges is a little too much in my humble opinion. (I mean.. really??!! Is he really up there with a Nobel-prize winner??!!)

Not to trash unecessarily this book. Don't get me wrong: it is good. Not excellent, not a classic but good nonetheless. It is engaging, fresh and well written. It flows and, considering that this book ... Read More



Rating:  out of 5 stars - A book that inspires
My mom gave this book to me as a birthday present. I read it in a week only because I had school and was impossible to be glued to the book...although I did try. Its just that good.
I believe the most memorable thing about the book its the beauty of the story: learn from the past to create your own present.
This book is a mastepiece by Zafon in which we can still see a similarity with previous books (Marina, El Principe de la Niebla) but I feel he wrote this book with a more mature sense ... Read More



Rating:  out of 5 stars - perdida de tiempo
este es un libro intelectualoide y pedante, con grandes aspiraciones y pocas gratificaciones...
escrito por alguien que obviamente se cree demasiado grande, pero escribe como un chico...
personajes de carton y una historia caprichosa e infantil (para un intelectual)...
por supuesto esta escrito como si fuera IMPORTANTE... pero es puro palabrerio, sin mucha substancia...
buenas criticas por parte de otros intelectualoides que aman el lenguaje grandilocuente aunque sea solo gas...



Rating:  out of 5 stars - Couldn't stop reading
I didn't know anything about Zafon until I got this book. But couldn't stop reading since the first page. I read it in spanish and enjoyed the rich language, the love story, the twists and turns, the suspense, the characters... Definitely a book I will reccommend for many years to come!
