feliciagbarr 's review for:

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
2.0

This book reads like a movie, and I'm not sure I appreciated that style. Little character development, and Daniel, the protagonist, is just a vessel for the audience. That being said, after about 75 pages in, the story started to pick up and I was more engaged for a couple hundred pages. And then it lost me again at the end. It wasn't a bad book, I didn't hate it, but I didn't end up liking it all that much either.

But if you're looking for a page turner with a fairly decent mystery and some twists and turns, this might be your book.
