aes3200 's review for:

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
3.0

I was really into this book toward the beginning, and I was intrigued by the Cemetery of Forgotten Books. But as I read more and more of the book, I began to feel bored with the plot line. The story moves rather slowly, but I did enjoy the relationship between Daniel and Fermin over the course of the novel. I found Zafón's writing to be incredibly descriptive, which is great, but it made the book difficult to get through. By the end I just did not enjoy it enough to be interested in the resolution of the mystery.
