A review by serinde4books
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
3.0
This was a BOTM read for August, but my library copy came in early, so I had
to read it early.
It starts off so dark and dreary and mysterious, and then a secret library with books nobody remembers are stored and still read and loved. And on Daniels first visit he adopts the book title, so it can never go extinct. I loved the premise behind the story. There was a great mystery and what happened to the author Julian? There were parts of the story that were very slow for me, particularly in the middle, I didn't really see how it added to the plot. The ending had a bit of a twist, most of it I had figured out, but the shocker part I did not. But it did wrap everything up nicely in the end. Overall it was an ok book.
