Reviews for The Angel's Game

Write a review

  • Slightly disappointing2

    Tracy Hudson I read this book after I had read The Shadow of the Wind and although it had an interesting plot premise, I just wasn't too enamoured. There was too much involved and although it started out well with the story of David Marshall, as soon as the plot tried to delve into the myuthical is became more farsical.

    Supernatural pre-quel to 'Shadow of the Wind'4

    Sir George-Marcus Moore After thoroughly enjoying 'Shadow of the Wind', I approached 'The Angel's Game' expecting a similar style, but found it altogether more gothic. While 'Shadow of the Wind' is all explained eventually by natural phenomena, 'The Angel's Game' crosses seamlessly over into the super-natural reminiscent of Umberto Eco's 'Baudolino'. The direct connection to 'Shadow of the Wind' is only in our postscrip introduction to the birth of Daniel Sempere, the main character in the latter; but the scenery is the same or similar: old Barcelona, the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, long deserted mansions and the bookshop of Sempere and Son. The ending leaves the reader thinking (is this not the mark of a good book?) was it super-natural, or was it the imagination of a schizophrenic? Indeed, one may ponder if all supernature is not in the imagination. I recommend this book to any reader, but for the millions who have enjoyed 'Shadow of the Wind', it is a must ! by Sir George-Marcus Moore
