Masterpiece!!!: If you can read Spanish, this is a must. The plot of the book is simple, yet addictive after the first few pages. One really gets the felling of being in Barcelona at the time.
I could say more, but I wouldn't want to spoil such an captivating book.

Just for entertainment...: I won't lie.. I'm a bit surprised by all the praise this book has received. Mr. Ruiz Zafón is indeed a talented writer, but comparing him to García Márquez and Borges is a little too much in my humble opinion. (I mean.. really??!! Is he really up there with a Nobel-prize winner??!!)
Not to trash unecessarily this book. Don't get me wrong: it is good. Not excellent, not… More reviews

A book that inspires: My mom gave this book to me as a birthday present. I read it in a week only because I had school and was impossible to be glued to the book...although I did try. Its just that good.
I believe the most memorable thing about the book its the beauty of the story: learn from the past to create your own present.

perdida de tiempo: este es un libro intelectualoide y pedante, con grandes aspiraciones y pocas gratificaciones...
escrito por alguien que obviamente se cree demasiado grande, pero escribe como un chico...
personajes de carton y una historia caprichosa e infantil (para un intelectual)...
por supuesto esta escrito como si fuera IMPORTANTE... pero es puro palabrerio, sin mucha substancia...
buenas criticas por parte… More reviews

Couldn't stop reading: I didn't know anything about Zafon until I got this book. But couldn't stop reading since the first page. I read it in spanish and enjoyed the rich language, the love story, the twists and turns, the suspense, the characters... Definitely a book I will reccommend for many years to come!… More reviews
