The Angel's game - Carlos Ruiz Zafon

Post by Fleaaaaaa »

I'm just wondering if anyone here has read this book. I really enjoyed shadow of the wind, read that a few years ago and just finished reading The Angel's game yesterday and I thought it was great. Zafon has a great style of writing although I found the last scenes to be rather ambigious and a little too left open to give the book definate closure. I enjoyed it though still the same.

I am so in love with this book. One of my all time favorites. Captivating and my favorite use of imagery, by far. A lot to wrap your head around, especially since I have yet to read shadow of the wind. I quote this book whenever it relates. Sooooo many questions though!!! Probably would be answered when I finally read the others. 10/10 plot twist! :shock: 8) :techie-studyingbrown:
