Scrivendo questo romanzo nel '95 Zafon mi ha dato la sensazione di aver fatto le prove generali per il capolavoro insuperabile che è L'Ombra del Vento. Ha tutte le caratteristiche di un romanzo dell'autore spagnolo, il background paradisiaco, un'attenta descrizione del paesaggio, il tipico protagonista "giovane di belle speranze", e poi una storia che non ti aspetti che nasce dall'immensa fantasia di questo genio della Letteratura. Non è ai livelli de "L'ombra del vento" o de "Il gioco dell'angelo", ma è pur sempre un gran bel libro.

Zafon's 'The Shadow of the Wind' is one of my all time favourites so reading this book for YA was quite a treat. Similar to his other YA work I've read 'Marina', the atmosphere was just perfect for me and the romantic, gothic elements very reminiscent of Guillermo del Toro's films - what a pair these two would have made! A good time had all round.
