pinkalpaca 's review for:

The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
5.0

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...
