The Angel's Game (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books, #2)
by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
Once more, Zafon takes his readers to a thrilling ride into a web of stories. And any ride with Zafon is guaranteed to be breathtaking.
In the Angel's Game, Zafon has again exhibited his specialty in leading his readers into a series of intricate stories. He makes sure his readers enter that labyrinth of events so engrossed that they would hardly feel that they have been sucked into it. But great Zafon makes sure that his readers come out of it safe. He really has that talent of giving little unexpected twists here and there while ending the whole story with one big unforeseen twist.
The ride through the whole book is something to be cherished. He successfully puts his readers under his spell -- playing with their emotions through his sarcastic humor, manly ego, proud wit, writer's vanity, and pure friendship.
There is so much wisdom in Zafon's words, through Sempere the bookseller: "Every book has a soul, the soul of the person who wrote it, and of those who read it and dream about it."
Am sure Angel's Game, Shadow of the Wind, and even The Prince of Mist will be the content of my dreams for quite a long time.

Oh ok. Got anxious for a while. I thought he has failed you. ;) ... Try Angel's Game and Prince of Mist. Don't compare the plot with Shadow of the Wind though. Since it is what you have read, it sets the standard high. But I promise you, his writing style will consistently make you melt. :)
I have a copy of Angel's Game but I don't have the time to read it, too thick for me and I promise you that I can't finish it in one sitting.
That's fine. You don't have to. It's actually better to let his words linger in your head. :) Take it easy and savor him.
I'm itching to read this one since it's been a year when I read Shadow of the Wind.Nice review, Yzobelle! ^_^
