I did finish The Shadow of the Wind and it was not bad overall. It was slow in parts. Some of the back story of Julián Carax was rather slow. There was too much of it (overall). For example, near the end, the letter that was written to tell the truth was a bit slow.
The ending was a bit of a deus ex machina. But after that, it was good.
Some of the time I just wanted to slap all of them.
