The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
4.0
The sad tale of a pulp writer abused and ripped off first by his newspaper employer, then by his employers at a pulp novel company, and then by a mysterious figure who promises to give him his deepest desires...if only he will write one more pseudonymous book.
The prequel to "The Name of the Wind."
I liked this one, but still ended up skimming a bit toward the end. The plotlines were all set up well, but they didn't finish as prettily, and it felt like a few things didn't get resolved that should have, and a few other things got introduced at more or less the last moment, just to be "mysterious." A fun read, but no Foucault's Pendulum or Club Dumas.
