Seriously!
I recommend this book to everyone!

I loved it. It isn't often that a book grips me like this one did.

Harry Potter Book 1-7.

OMG, they were so amazing. I didn't sleep for days just to read the books from cover to cover.

Are there any books similar to that?

I've certainly added The Tin Drum by Gunter Grass to my top 10.

My favorite book is "The Final Circle of Paradise" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. Up to my mind, if the one loves reading, there must be not less than five favorite books :) So, I like reading very much! And to be more correct, this book by Strugatsky is one of my favorite books! I like many works written by Strugatsky, their phylosophy is close to my world outlook.

My Favourite book was The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Once you get into the book it keeps the pages turning, its a little slow at the beginning as you need to take in so many names and characters but it is a solid great read with a wonderful twist.
Any fans of this book?
