Intersting story...kind of strange. There is a lot of "jumping" around within the book....i.e. the story line "jumps" from various times and people. This can make the reading a bit confusing at times. Like I said, kind of a strange book....I don't really love it or hate it...."it" just "is". Hummmm.

This book was okay. The writing and plot "jumps" around a bit which, at times makes it slightly, hard to follow. However, the plot line has some good twists.

A good book which entwines Persian folklore with issues of Iran's past. This is done through meshing folklore, political and religious issues within the main story of the novel which deals with the special relationship of a father and son. A good read.

This book is fantastic! The imagery Zafon uses, keeps you spellbound throughout the book. There are so many twists and turns that you can never guess what is going to happen next or solve the mystery that the novel takes you on....until the very last pages, that is! This book is a true winner!
