I was expecting a lot
from this book. The language of Carlos Ruiz Zafón is truly beautiful, almost poetic. His words make it pleasant, with visual writing and
descriptions. Every page captivates, takes
you and encourages you to continue reading. A collection of characters, but each
one well defined. Normally
I think it’s annoying when there are
many characters appear in a book, but you forgot no
one. The different locations in the dark Barcelona
is perfect. They are so graphically described, so it looks like
you're there. This is a book about the love of the
book, in a story that takes place
over a time span
of 21 years, with a nostalgic touch, a touch of magic realism, a pinch
of history and an ultimate
atmosphere. The writer knows
to hold the tension until the end, because of his smooth
way of writing. A book you
should take time for.
“Het aftasten van deuren die zich in je ziel openen, je
verliezen in de verbeelding, de schoonheid en het mysterie van de schijn en de
taal.”
