I loved this book. I loved it so much that I decided to read all the other books written by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (I can't put an accented O). But it took me years, literally, to read the first 20%-30%. After that I finished the book within one week.
However, from what I can see here and there, this book is either liked very much or strongly disliked.
To each its own
Right now I'm reading
Introductions by C. L. Stone. More than 50% into it and not much is happening. There are also many typos. Yet I would like to know where all of this is going to, so I'll hold on until the last page. Good thing it was a freebie.
