Enjoyed this book. It was a quick read that kept me interested until the last page. I found myself rooting for the wrong side but oh well. It was interesting and a nice escape from Patterson's routine characters.

I'm just about halfway through this book, and I'm really liking it so far. Much of my interest in religion has been not what people do, but why they do it. It's not enough to say that it's just something people do. Religion should be studied more closely if we want to understand it. Dennett presents the evolution of religion to come to some understanding of why religions exist, and why people believe in them at all. It's a very fascinating read, and his arguments are well reasoned and researched.

The novel, set in post-Spanish civil war Barcelona, concerns a young boy, Daniel Sempere. Just after the war, Daniel's father takes him to the secret “Cemetery of Forgotten Books”, a huge library of old, forgotten titles lovingly preserved by a select few initiates. According to tradition, everyone initiated to this secret place is allowed to take one book from it, and must protect it for life. Daniel selects a book called “The Shadow of the Wind” by Julian Carax. The novel is rare, the author obscure, and rumors tell of a horribly disfigured man who has been burning every copy he can find of Carax's novels. The man calls himself Lain Coubert—the name of the devil in one of Carax's novels. As he grows up, Daniel's fascination with the mysterious Carax links him to a blind girl with a “porcelain gaze”, Clara Barcelo; another fan, a leftist jack-of-all-trade, Fermin Romero de Torres; his best friend's sister, the delectable Beatriz Aguilar; and as he begins investigating the life and death of Carax, a cast of characters with secrets to hide. In doing so Daniel becomes entangled in an age old conflict that began with the author himself. Many parallels are found to exist between the author's life and Daniel's and he takes it upon himself to make sure history does not repeat itself. Daniel is believably awkward teenager—compassionate, but naive and romantically inept. Unfortunately as Daniel grows, his character does not, but luckily, Fermin, a homeless man whom Daniel's father hires off the street to work in his bookshop, has enough charisma for the both of them. An ex-secret agent and unattractive lady's man, who works his way through pinching bottoms and solving mysteries. His depth of character, wit coupled with a totured past as a prisoner of war, makes him one of the main redeeming factors in the story. Fans of the classics will find the tale utterly compelling with its magical interweaving of fate, time and romance, and Zafon's knack for mapping out every inch of scene through a liquid flow of words. But despite the completely original story line, more contemporary readers might be turned off by its verbose nature and unplausibility. Prostitutes are sweethearts, homeless men are brilliant heroes, the hatter is mad...well...as a hatter and Barcelona seems conveniently no more than two blocks wide. There's no denying, however, that Zafon has a wonderful knack for pushing and pulling his reader's attention. Cliffhanger chapter endings are sprinkled throughout the book. Fittingly for such a celebration of the imagination was the translation done by Lucia Graves who somehow retained the language and the intricate mood. In fact everything about “The Shadow of the Wind” is smooth. The language purrs along, while the plot twists and unravels with languid grace. Yet despite all these strengths, I felt that there are still loose ends in the book that has not been resolved. Why is it, up until the last end, are the people who knows about that Julian and Penelope are biological brothers and sisters (the book's ultimate twist in its arsenal) are still bent on keeping the truth from Julian? Even Daniel is complicit in this though I considered him the redeeming light of Julian back from his true cheery self. I know it would devastate Julian big time if he would know as such, but the book or its author doesn't seem to deliver a more credible resolution and left it at that. Zafon's novel is atmospheric, beguiling and throughly readable, but ultimately lacks the magic its early chapter promises. For that I'll give it three and a half stars.

My sister recommended this book to me and I really liked it. I didn't even want to change the way it ended. It is a fantasy. If you like those and haven't read this one, I recommend it.

Thought this series was a trilogy, so I was anxious to find out the end. Alas, there's another book yet to come. I'm not sure I'll read it.

This story of three best friends and a summer rental is a wonderful beach read. Nothing here is a surprise, but despite the formulaic plot, the writing elevates this otherwise predictable beach read. The sub-plot with the woman on the run felt like a bit of an add-on and was certainly wrapped up a little too easily. All in all though, a decent addition to the Andrews canon and certainly a great book to help wrap up your summer vacation.
great for wondering what each poem is about inferring as well
