The Shadow of the Wind
by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
A really interesting book with a beautiful writing style that I think translated well. Whenever I picked this book up, I'd want to keep reading on so it definitely sucked me in. I enjoyed following along with the story a lot. My biggest criticism, however, is that I wish the female characters were written better. It oftentimes felt like they existed as objects of infatuation, or to provide angst for men, but never as their own three-dimensional figures with their own characters or motivations.
