habelhamessafaa 's review for:
لعبة الملاك
by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
Honestly, idk what's real and what's not anymore. Idk who to trust anymore. I gotta admit, i was confused by the ending of this book. And all i can think of is why did i trust the narrator? I shouldn't have done that. Also, the idea of writing a new religion held me captive. I couldn't move on. I've heard the stories about religion claimed to be written by normal people, but never in my life i read about someone trying to write a new religion. I can't get over how brilliant the idea is. I've read many books and i've never encountered such idea.
Moving to the narrator, David Martin definitely has split-personalities. There is no more convincing reason to what was happening in the book. He clearly from the very beginning was suffering from delusions until the last pages.
Although many things doesn't make sense, and the epilogue raised more questions instead of answering them, nothing makes sense and that's what i believe the author wanted us to achieve. Some questions are better unanswered. I didn't get to know why did the woman stole Martin's book from Sempere-The father? Did she stole it at all? Was Marlasca, and Salvador real? Was that woman from the store his mother? If Marlasca is Salvador, how did his wife didn't recognize him?... etc. and there's only one answer to all those question. We don't know bcz simply we can't trust what David told us. And i find this rather so smart and brilliant representation of split-personalities disorder.
I've read some of the reviews here in goodreads where some people have seen the book from a religious pov in which some characters are religious representations to some christian symbols, and i can't say that i can relate bcz again David and his narration can NOT be trusted. All i'm sure of is the existence of the Inspector Grandes, Vidal, Christina, Sempere and his sons, Isabella (and her family), and her son Daniel whom we encounter in The Shadow of The Wind. All other characters may as they may not be from David's imagination. I'm still confused, and as much as i think of it, it got more confusing.. but i can't deny that this work is a masterpiece.
Plus, Isabella took a book from The cemetery, and i guess the story of the next book will about that book specifically.
Imagine having it all figured out by the labyrinth of spirits? Hopefully will be.
I so much enjoyed this book, it was a page-turner, beautifully written, captivating, and ABSOLUTELY MESMERIZING.
I LOVED. This is the 1st book in 2021 i give 5 stars to.
I invite to read Katja Cehovin' review about it. It was everything i wanted to say.
What the author said about the book:
The Angel's Game has many games inside, one of them with the reader. It is a book designed to make you step into the storytelling process and become a part of it. In other words, the wicked, gothic chick wants your blood. Beware. Maybe, without realizing, I ended up writing a monster book after all...Don't say I didn't warn you, courageous reader. I'll see you on the other side.
