A review by lilit358
The Prince of Mist by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

2.0

First word of warning: the translation is not great. Depending on the type of person you are, that may irritate you to the point of distraction and hatred or be endearing and kind of cute/funny.

This is Zafon's first novel and is meant for young adults, but anyone can read it. It's also super short and easy to get through in one sitting. It was only ok because there wasn't much continuity and so many questions were left unanswered. What I liked about it though is that even for a young adult novel it's pretty dark and does not have a particularly happy ending. It can be kind of creepy at times too, especially if you live alone and are reading it at night before going to bed.

All in all, nice quick read that's entertaining but no great work of literature.
