The
Angel's Game Carlos Ruiz Zafon 
A writer never forgets the first time that accepts coins or a compliment in return for history. Never forget the first time you feel the sweet poison of vanity in the blood and think that if anyone gets to discover his lack of talent, the dream of literature will be able to put a roof over his head, a hot plate at the end of day and wants most: his name printed on a miserable piece of paper that probably will outlive him. A writer is doomed remember that time because then it is lost and his soul is priceless.
not been two minutes since I read the last page of this book, I know it is wrong to write a review so early: they are objective only when the memory is still fresh and feelings are forgotten. Even with dried tears in my eyes, is not the case.
This book is the second Zafon writes a series about the Barcelona of "Cemetery of Forgotten Books." It is a sinister story, full of lights and shadows, illusions and hopes, and revenge and resentment, of mystery, love, friendship and betrayal.
much darker than its predecessor, The Angel's Game speaks of David Martin, a young writer born with the century you know a publisher with a proposal that will envelop you in a dark spiral in which, when he realizes that he must leave it is already too late.
Many critics have heard of this book, most of them, of course, compared with Shadow of the Wind: Some say it is better, others worse, but I really do not think they are comparable in quality. After reading me both almost in succession, this is what, in my poor opinion, the difference
The most obvious to me is the storyline: While in the Shadow of the Wind was the story of many characters, Daniel, Fermín Julian, Nuria, and was given much more emphasis on secondary stories in The Angel's Game Zafón focuses on one character most of the time, David.
This, in my opinion, this may take a little diversity to the history and character, the secondary characters, but instead gives one hand, much more plot development, and secondly, a lot more depth to the character (remember that Daniel was little more than a witness of history and his personality rather throw a null)
Another difference lies in the story: While in the Shadow of the Wind A tale was romantic, sad and exciting, this book draws a much more mysterious and spooky, full of questions and finishes masterfully unfinished, in which the reader will rack their brains trying to figure out what is really going on. This ambiguity, which remains virtually from start to finish sustained by mind games, is for me one of the highlights of the book.
In the style we a Zafon (because Zafón is Zafón) much darker than dramatic, which is immersing a novel in which even light are shadows in disguise, a novel where you feel the disease, fear and uncertainty of the protagonist, who first time in many books is a normal person, with flaws and mistakes, and not a hero, or a holy innocent, as is the case with other novels Zafón.
Finally I have to say to those who will read it, and have read the above, to take the trouble to be fixed in time and find links to each of the other novels Zafon (The Shadow of the Wind The Prince of Mist ...) and winks the author is doing to them. Special interest is to deduce who is who in the Semple family. You have earned a surprise.
In general, one of the masterpieces of Carlos Ruiz Zafon, which has nothing to envy, however different it is, the Shadow of the Wind and whose mystery no rest stop readers from page one to read exciting denouement, with its distinctive signature, this work is a book Zafón anyone who can understand going to enjoy very much.
Rating: 9 / 10.
