Look, it's not my thing to mince my words, so I'll give you my opinion and ultimately, you'll decide what to make of it anyway: Despite its obvious qualities, I have to admit that I'm a little baffled of its status given that all the flaws, if found in some random YA book, would be called out without any doubt.

It's pretty simple, actually: All of these characters were flat and forgettable in my book. In the past I've read historical novels that let me furious about the way women were treated and categorized into little boxes mother, virgin, whore, if you're asking but in The Shadow of the Wind I never felt that the issue was handled or acknowledged, or barely they do mention it in other men, but for me they were no better.
All the time, and I'm not sure how I'm supposed to care about characters - Fermin and Daniel, for example - who constantly objectify women, when they're not busy expressing stereotypes like, "women can't do Maths", or, "women who let you touch them the first time are whores", etc, etc.
I felt like drowning. Far from me the intent of spoiling the story to you, so I'll just say this: Again, if this book was called The Storm and The Thorns , and some generic YA bullshit, it would have annoyed me, because I cannot feel invested in a romance if there's neither growth nor depth. Why in the world should I feel differently this time? I couldn't care less. Even with the interesting view spoiler [meta narration hide spoiler ] , it felt like such a cop-out.
I wish the descriptions of Paris would have reached this level of brilliance, but I didn't really mind. Albeit the difficult times described, reading The Shadow of the Wind made me want to come back there, and I probably will very soon. From the first page I was hooked, and my interest didn't falter before reaching the second half but I already explained why.
Perhaps my expectations were too high, but in the end, the story didn't convince me, and even the message - no matter how great it was, or wanted to be - felt a bit superficial because spoiled by the lack of depth of the characters.

I appreciated what the author was trying to do, but he didn't do it well enough to keep me reading.
Yes, Romantic lit is full of cliche, but the thing is to do it in an intriguing way and with enough wit to keep your audience intere Trying too hard. Yes, Romantic lit is full of cliche, but the thing is to do it in an intriguing way and with enough wit to keep your audience interested. This book did not have that balance. It had the formula, it just didn't execute things well enough, in my opinion.
To be fair, that could be because this book was originally in Spanish. It could have lost a lot in translation. I know it lost something, actually, because some of the sentences are rather awkwardly phrased. But Arturo Perez-Reverte's gothic-esque novels were also in Spanish, and they still had their magic in translation. So, I don't forgive this guy enough to finish the book. Which I didn't, by the way. Got about halfway through because I was hoping it would get better, but it was still not grabbing me, so. View all 54 comments.
Some of my friends didn't love it so I don't feel so alone thank goodness. I tried reading the paperback awhile back and put it down. Then I picked it up again and the beginning was so good. I thought we were going to go on some kind of crazy journey when I read about the cemetery of forgotten books. It just never went where I thought it might go. I finally got the audio version on Overdrive and the narrator was wonderful, the little music parts while reading were wonderful, I just couldn't get into it. I really don't think it was my mood either even though I'm fighting a reading slump.
I just didn't care for any of the characters or what was going on. View all 22 comments. This novel started off very promising, but soon devolved into bad writing and ridiculous plotting. I finally had to abandon it after pages because I didn't want to waste another minute on it. I'm going to give the writer the benefit of the doubt and wonder if this was poorly translated from the Spanish. The story is set in Barcelona in What I liked about the beginning was the idea of a young boy being drawn into a secret world of readers.
Daniel was 10 when his father took him to the C This novel started off very promising, but soon devolved into bad writing and ridiculous plotting. Daniel was 10 when his father took him to the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, which was a dusty and hidden library, and he was told to choose one book to protect. Daniel fell in love with an out-of-print novel and tries to find out more about the mysterious author.
Those first images, the echo of words we think we have left behind, accompany us throughout our lives and sculpt a palace in our memory to which, sooner or later -- no matter how many books we read, how many worlds we discover, or how much we learn or forget -- we will return. For me those enchanted pages will always be the ones I found among the passageways of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books.
There's no point in summarizing the rest of the plot because it quickly becomes absurd. Absurdity is always relative, of course, and the degree to which disbelief must be suspended varies by genre. This book was grounded at the beginning, but the mystery aspect was so silly that it became farcical. I had high hopes for this novel but was very disappointed.
I thought it might be similar to the modern gothic style of "The Thirteenth Tale," which I really liked, but the bad writing made me quickly tire of it. There were too many cliches, too many florid descriptions and too many long speeches from preposterous characters. Looking at reviews from GR friends, I see everything from 1 stars to 5 stars on this book. It is possible that if I come back to this at another time and in another mood, I may like it more, but for now, it's just OK. I also felt as though this went from a rather whimsical, bookish story at the start something I very much enjoyed into a fairly standard and typical mystery at the end.
I do think that there are some surprising elements to it, but I do think some of it is fairly predictable too. The writing is very beautiful and lyrical throughout the book.

I did feel that there were definitely some wonderful scenes and lovely prose, but honestly the story started out so strong, but didn't fully ensnare me and ended up all nice and neat at the end! I felt as though this book was beautifully written, but maybe not telling a story of beautiful characters and whilst I wanted to love it becuase it is a book about books, I joust had so many irritating characters that held back the reading experience by doing unrealistic or annoying things at vital moments of the plot.
The story follows a young boy called Daniel as he visits a super special, very secret library called the Cemetery of Forgotten Books and whilst there he finds a book which has been lost from the world. The book is called The Shadow of the Wind and after Daniel reads it his life is changed and finding out more about the author becomes his highest priority.
We follow Daniel as he meets people and investigates the past, but he is also learning to grow up and live his life at the same time. He starts out as a young boy and continues to become a teenager and later a man as the book goes on. You see him struggle with romance and love, lust and mystery and you also get to see some of what Barcelona was like at the time this story is set early s. Overall the story is a fast one and the plot is quick.
The writing is lyrical and the pacing is good, but the plot and the characters left enough to be desired that I never felt truly immersed and so the 'surprise' moments didn't have quite the impact I had hoped for. I will probably try put more Zafon in the future, but he's not, unfortunately, one of my favourite authors yet. My boss has just seen it on my desk and said: I will save you. Just stop now before you start enjoying it.
You will like it while you're reading it and then it will mean nothing to you afterwards. It's literary Pinot Grigio! Can you tell I am working in fine wine business? Now I am afraid to like it. Unfortunately I don't remember much about this book.

And it is significant because I read My boss has just seen it on my desk and said: And it is significant because I read it only a month ago. Initially I thought it would be the kind of book I would scorn at for being poor excuse for literature but also secretely love and read in one day because of the gripping story.
As for the style, I think it was ok. I think I thought it was ok, because I don't remember. What was the story about? Some young boys falling in love with your girls and they all liked reading books. I didn't care for anybody in this book, I was not convinced by the drama and I just really don't understand what the fuss was about. Even when then big secret is revealed at the end of the book, I was so jaded I almost missed it altogether.
The only interesting concept in the book was the Cemetery of Forgotten Book and it was completely underdeveloped. That's the only thing I knew about this book before I started reading it. I felt like I was promised something amazing and magical and got cheated.

Tal vez hubiese funcionado si no todos hablaran igual. Su personaje suena mayor de lo que realmente es.

The story itself is fantastic, it pulls you in keeps you wanting to know how it all unfolds. Here's the catch though, it's a bit long winded, filled with flowery prose and sometimes unnecessary details of surrounding characters that are not even part of the story.

It felt so long, but at under pages, while on the thicker side, this shouldn't have felt like such an undertaking. Ruiz Zafron has a way with words that is almost lyrical but more lulling to me. Every time I picked up the book I grew tired. I've found myself feeling this way about many recent "classics" so I'm beginning to think it's me 2.

Ci dica, Arwen, come mai ha acquistato questo libro? Beh, ecco, ero al supermercato e stavo dando un'occhiata allo scaffale dei libri. Mi ha incantato quel "Cimitero dei Libri dimenticati". Non ho letto oltre ed ho deciso di acquistarlo. Non conoscevo per nulla l'autore. Di cosa parla il libro?

Sinceramente, io sono contraria a raccontare le trame dei libri. Indubbiamente, lo si legge quasi tutto di un fiato. In pratica, vi convivono un gran numero di generi letterari: Tuttavia, dopo una prima parte che sembra promettere assai bene, si scade nell'esagerazione e nell'improbabile. Nel senso che la storia non risulta credibile? Ma cerchiamo di intenderci. Qui, invece, alcuni dei protagonisti ed i fatti che conducono a certe soluzioni scadono, alla fine, nel caricaturale e tolgono armonia al racconto.
Dunque non lo consiglia? No, non direi questo. Ma mi chiedo anche che cosa poi questo libro lasci nel lettore. View all 3 comments. El inicio es lento, por momentos hasta puede aburrir. This is Norwegian Wood all over again. And now I'm going to explain to you why.
When I first decided to approach such a well-known author as Mr. Murakami, I had decided to read his magnum opus , listening to many: I remembered having really high expectations when I bought it and perceiving this good omen that I would have loved that novel for sure because anyone else did, so why not me?
W This is Norwegian Wood all over again. Why did I hate the characters so much? Was something actually wrong with me, if everybody else praised it as a contemporary masterpiece? Analyzing my taste in literature and considering it better than those of many other people today I'm considering myself really modest, yeah , I thought to be the classic black sheep in a fenced area full of a homogeneous crowd of people who loved that book and I didn't really care, being used to be the misfit of the situation.
But it happened again. You gotta know that this book, in Italy at least, is claimed to be a masterpiece, too. Also the Spanish copies are available in almost every bookshop. Being, basically, the only one who still didn't read it, I bought it as a gift for Christmas with many other books if you're wondering, yes, I buy myself books for Christmas because I don't trust other people's tastes. The fact that I picked it up after seven months may indicate something not only to me but also to you: I was expecting too much from this novel.

So much that I was scared to even pick it up. Finally, I decided to do it and man, why again? Why another high praised author falls flat to me? Am I asking too much from them? Then, I came to this conclusion: Overrated by the casual readers who love them because they rarely read any other books and buy them only because they're worldwide best-sellers ie The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins.
Then I started predicting things and hating the characters because, at least, I could have some fun in the meanwhile. Often the fame of these names overshadow the real value of the novels, I think. Or probably I'm the one to have tons of problems and who cares, right? Let's talk about The Shadow of The Wind , though. Sincerely, I was hooked by the premise and almost immediately loved it. An historical fiction revolving around a mystery and books? With literature being the heart of the entire novel? But someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book Carax has written.
Daniel becomes obsessed and, through the years, he investigates about this author. Now, let me be clear.
