A review by shirleytupperfreeman
The Labyrinth of the Spirits by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

This was a blast - eight hundred pages of intrigue, murder, mayhem and sly humor. Zafón's writing is phenomenal and filled with spot-on observations about living in Spain under General Franco's leadership. His books aren't necessarily for the squeamish however. This is the fourth, and last, of a series of books about the Cemetery of Forgotten Books - a series which started with Shadow of the Wind in 2001. I had read that and the second book, The Angel's Game, many years ago. I never knew about the third book and couldn't remember much from the first two and still enjoyed The Labyrinth very much. What a fun love-letter to reading and literature! I read the ARC - to be published in September 2018.
