Book Reviews of The Shadow of the Wind
Book Review: "Shadow" will bring plenty of light into your reading
Summary: 4 Stars
I had been hesitant to pick up this novel. People who had read it had told me it was good, but they sounded lukewarm about it. There are too many average novels out there and I don't like to waste my time on them. Now there is all this buzz about his second novel "Angel's Game" and I thought I might as well read his first novel. I must admit this was a fun and engrossing read. There is a lot to admire about this book and the ending isn't such a letdown like so many other novels that seem to be promising thrillers. I would think that most people who take the time to review a book on Amazon, must love books so the plot of Zafon's novel was already a win-win for the reading audience. "Shadow of the Wind" has all of the elements: mystery, intrigue, romance, politics, suspense, but it's not without it's flaws. There were times when I felt his writing style was bit contrived. Some characters were too melodramatic and others weren't developed enough. Also, there are some coincidental circumstances that detract the storyline and make it weak at times. Still, I highly recommend this novel because it does succeed in being interesting and has enough suspense to keep the reader turning the pages. Without a "shadow" of a doubt, you'll enjoy this novel.
