texassizedreads 's review for:
The Shadow of the Wind
by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
dark
emotional
mysterious
reflective
sad
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Strong character development:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
The story is beautiful, but I felt like certain anecdotes were unnecessary and dragged the book on for too long. Also, I was kind of weirded out by the whole incest thing, so a star was taken off for that.
