Marina by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

acmarinho3's review against another edition

5.0

Que livro surpreendente! Zafón e a sua capacidade de criar personagens maravilhosas, narrativas complexas e cativantes... É um livro que mexe connosco, que nos faz pensar nas coisas que se faz por amor, para evitar a morte de quem amamos, para os tornar eternos. A vida é, de facto, tão efémera.
Zafón, levaste todas as respostas contigo.

Lo vuelvo a decir, el misterio no me encanta, y este en concreto además fue un poco desagradable. Me dio muy mal rollo todo el libro y estaba entre misterio, terror con toques de ciencia ficción… no se, había un ligero ligero romance-amistad que no queda claro. Le di un 7.

Um livro bastante spooky e misterioso, perfeito para ler na entrada do Outono. Senti muitas vibes de Frankenstein (uma das minhas histórias preferidas) e adorei ler os cenários de uma Barcelona gótica e sombria. Muito curiosa para ler mais obras do autor.

Me encanto. El principio se me hizo un poco lento, pero conforme fui adentrándome el la trama ni pude soltarlo. Ruiz Zafon es un escritor que sabe jugar con la cronología y con varias historias que se terminan uniendo una con otra. Es un libro pequeño que no pierde ritmo, con un toque oscuro como casi toda la literatura del autor pero con ese contraste tierno y emotivo. Te mantiene expectante durante casi toda su lectura.

I don't read YA much, and I definitely don't read horror at all, but despite those two facts, I found this novel really compelling. I may have to move on to Zafón's  The Shadow of the Wind next.

Marina, te llevaste todas las respuestas contigo. Te hace sentir tanto en tan poco, mi libro favorito lo lea con 16 o 28 años.
