Book Review: The Shadow of the Wind
Author: Carlos Ruiz Zafon
This was one book that had me hooked right from the first page.
It starts with a ten-year old boy Daniel, who is taken by his father to the "Cemetery of Forgotten Books", and he "adopts" a book written by Julian Carax called "The Shadow of the Wind". Daniel plunges into murky waters when he tries to read all of the author's works.
There's plenty of mystery, romance, interestingly woven threads, and well-etched characters. Some of it is predictable, some isn't. The writing is awesome in some parts, quite patchy sometimes.
In short, I loved the book. Do read it if you get a chance.
