Absolut sexistisch!
Jede Frau wird sexualisiert und alle paar Seiten kommt eine neue frauenfeindliche Aussage.
Die Schreibweise und Handlung hat mir eigentlich gut gefallen. Nach 200 Seiten musste ich abbrechen, weil ich die sexistischen Aussagen nicht mehr ertragen konnte.
Von diesem Autor werde ich nie wieder etwas lesen.

Although I loved the literary mystery and setting,  the ubiquitous misogyny and violence is hard to handle. Women are not treated well in this book…

Superbement bien écrit. Les premiers chapitres sont tellement beaux que je les ai lus par petits bouts, pour les savourer pleinement.

Les éléments gothiques sont parfois trop présents à mon goût. De plus, certaines scènes m'ont fait tellement peur que j'en ai fait des cauchemars (d'où les 4,5 étoiles et non 5).

shadow of the wind is a beautifully written story with quotes that resonate, and a plot that keeps you turning page after page.
