Dałabym tej książce tysiąc gwiazdek gdybym mogła. Nie mogłam przestać o niej myśleć przez długie tygodnie a może nawet miesiące po skończeniu jej. Definitywnie jedna z moich ulubionych powieści w ogóle.

Al terminar de leer este libro, me sentí triste por dos motivos. Primero, porque no tendré más ningún libro para leer de mi autor favorito y, segundo, por el giro que toma la historia que desgarra el corazón.

Óscar y Marina es ese dúo que, a través de la curiosidad, encuentran un vínculo entre ellos mismos tratando de resolver un problema paranormal ajeno mientras intentan resolver su propia carga mental.

Una historia que no tiene un género que la pueda definir en su totalidad. Una vez más, Zafón escribió lo que quería contar de la manera en que él se disfrutara hacerlo, dejando las reglas y estructuras en el fondo.

When I finished reading this book, I felt sad for two reasons. First, because I will no longer have any books to read by my favorite author and, second, because of the heart-wrenching turn the story takes.

Óscar and Marina is that duo who, through curiosity, find a link between themselves trying to solve someone else's paranormal problem while trying to solve their own mental load.

A story that does not have a genre that can define it in its entirety. Once again, Zafón wrote what he wanted to tell in the way he enjoyed doing it, leaving the rules and structures in the background.

Ancora una volta, Zafòn incanta.
Magico e intrigante, letto in una notte estiva di temporale, questo romanzo ha un effetto ipnotico.
Una cupa e sinistra Barcellona è lo sfondo di una mistero macabro e spaventoso, il tutto corredato da una silenziosa ma intensa e profondissima storia d'amore tra due giovani ragazzi che andranno alla scoperta di un passato oscuro.
Bastano poche parole per descrivere questo romanzo: è semplicemente intriso di magia fin nel profondo.
