this amazed me
i have spent my live reading books, classics and romances and modern books, but this is my favourite book of all time. it had suspence, mystery, comedy, romance with the bonus of an exellent author. i have given it to some of my friends and they could not finish it. i stand by the fact that it is an amazing book, and you pass it by you are robbing yourself of an amazing read by Elena Sorgiovanni

stunning
This is one of the best books I have ever read - and i have read alot of books.
Zafon has a beautiful writing style and i was in love with this book within the first chapter and was entranced up until the very end.
Some was predictable however there was a twist I did not pick which made it even better.
Fabulous book for the switched on reader who respects great literature as well as the starry eyed dreamers of the world.
A great all rounder and something I constantly reccomend to people.
Just beautiful. BUY IT! by Rachael Wilkinson -
Shadow of the Wind
This is one of the most exquisitely written novels that I have had the pleasure to read. Zafon writes so beautifully. He'll captivate you in the book's opening line... by Evie Zhao

Words cannot effectively describe...
This is possibly the most beautiful book I have ever had the opportunity to read. Entirely engrossing, it will pull you into its delicate jungle of words and characters, only showig the way out once you have fallen in love with the foliage. Daniel is merely a vessel Zafon has constructed in order for the reader to experience the story first hand. You will feel yourself becoming a part of this character. Although it is a cliche, you will laugh, cry and gasp in equal measure as the glorious, touching tragedy of the story is revealed. by Alyssa Oprandi
