Ta książka złamała mi serce. Nie dość że historia jest ciekawa, a zarazem przerażająca, to w dodatku jest jedną z najpiękniejszych jakie czytałam. Bohaterowie wykreowani absolutnie genialnie. Każdy jest inny, ma swój własny charakter. Gdybym mogła dałabym milion gwiazdek. (Nadal podtrzymuje opinie German >>>>>>)

L’ho finito a fatica, non mi è piaciuto per nulla.
Avevo sentito tante buone recensioni su Zafon ma questa sua storia non lo trovata per nulla entusiasmante, anzi è stata abbastanza noiosa.
C’è il tentativo di scrivere una storia che dovrebbe fare paura, ma questo tentativo è fallito alla grande perché il tutto risulta molto poco credibile…

I first read Marina during the summer, and even the heat, the sun, could not take me out of this book's gloomy atmosphere. I got genuinely scared at one point, which might be explained by the fact that I was 12, but I like to believe that the general creepiness of the novel is solely to blame! However, Marina is more than horror : it's also beautiful, touching and deeply tragic. It is one of my favourite books ; it made me want to learn Spanish so that I could read Carlos Ruiz Zafón's original prose!

This books is absolutely gorgeously written. Zafon seriously knows how to write and the translator knows how to translate. Ultimately, I wasn't too drawn in by our main characters or the mystery but I am still floored at the writing, world building, and atmospheric horror elements of this read. If you're looking for a spooky mystery, this is a solid choice
