The Shadow of The Wind

I just finished the BEST book and couldn’t wait to write a review. Have any of you heard of, The Shadows of The Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon? No you say? Well, now you have!

 

This book is well written, easy to read, great character development and I didn’t figure it out in the first 30 pages. There is love, intrigue, murder, the angst of childhood, passion and mystery.

 

The story is a coming of age tale following a boy named Daniel. His father takes him to a secret location called The Cemetery of Books to pick one to belong to him. He searches and finds the perfect book, The Shadow of the Wind, written by an author he has never heard of. The story follows his attempt to uncover the lost story of the mysterious writer.

 

I don’t want to give anymore away about this story but I will note there are 2 “big” cuss words in it and a moment that made me gasp with surprise.

 

Read it. You will love it. (If you don’t, I will give you a different one to try!)

 

Much love to you all and happy 30 to me!
