Wow, i was not expecting THAT ending. Combination of “where are the tissues?!” and “what the eff?!” I’ve already put the next book on hold.

I absolutely adored this book. It's a slow moving, character driven story with many twists and turns that slowly make you think you might be going mad along with our main character. The city of Barcelona is like a character itself and the way it's described makes you feel like you are there within the city, watching this all unfold. I really enjoy the way this story is told as it's essentially the main character's whole life and you journey through it with him. I don't think this book will be for everyone but the writing is absolutely beautiful and I found the story totally enchanting.

The problem is, I've read this one before the first, only because I've read it in my own language and there was no indication of a series on the cover, or anywhere else. i loved it though. I loved it to pieces, and I'm sure i'm gonna love the first one just as much.

Oh, to be in gothic-y Barcelona...I don't think I've ever been as absorbed in a city's atmosphere in a book as much as in this and The Shadow of the Wind. I can only imagine how much Zafon's childhood library and/or bookstore impressed him growing up. The magic hold of words written on paper, he is a truly impressive Modern-day conjurer. I only wish the immensely talented Lucia Graves could translate faster. I'm anxiously waiting for all his other stories to unfold, they must be swimming around Zafon's head. I'd like to hear Isaac's for one. Anyway I cannot wait to return to the Cemetery...
