The Midnight Palace is the second book in the Trilogy of Fog series. I read the Prince of Mist as well and enjoyed it but thought this second book was better. Both books are excellently written and hold your interest but The Midnight Palace provides more fleshed out characters and depth. This boo...
Warning: spoilers.Well. Where do I start?Basically, this was one of the worst books I have ever read. It had a lot of potential, but the end result was simply disappointing. The diary/storytelling parts were extremely annoying. It would just start to get into the story then Ian would suddenly app...
This book calls to mind Star Wars, Hugo and Stephen King. Set in the Calcutta of the 1930s, seven orphans in St Patrick’s Orphanage in Calcutta create a secret society: the Chowbar Society. The charismatic centre of the society is Ben, who was left at the orphanage by his grandmother sixteen year...
Io non lo trovo......affatto un libro per ragazzi, anzi! Credo che dietro le descrizioni minuziose e divertenti di Zafòn e dietro la sua fantasia ci siano degli insegnamenti incredibili. Zafòn è uno di quelli scrittori capaci di stregarti, di ammaliarti, ogni volta che leggevo la città nera nel l...

I started reading this book for school and ended up really enjoying it. The book had a fast pace with great suspense in it. The plot was well fit together with an emotional ending that tied the book together. The point-of-view is kind of interesting because between chapters, which are harder ther...
Moja prvá zafónovka a určite nie posledná :) Romanzo gotico ricco di mistero e colpi di scena.
Me ha parecido un libro muy entretenido,con su cierto toque de terror y misterio. Es de ese tipo de libros que realmente te apetece leer el siguiente capítulo para enterarte de que es lo que pasa. 100% recomendado como novela juvenil. Una cosa que no me ha gustado mucho es algún asunto que se ha ...
La novela me ha parecido interesante, fácil de leer y con un buen argumento que te atrapa y hace que la leas con interés. Por momentos transmite miedo y tensión aunque eso te involucra más en la historia. Los personajes principales carecen de carisma, excepto El Príncipe que encarna el lado más o...
Esta es la primera novela de Ruí Zafón, extraordinario escritor contemporaneo y que tuvo bastante éxito.Muy entretenida, solo le veo un error importante en el manejo del tiempo pues al final la diferencia de edades entre Víctor Kray y Roland, abuelo y nieto respectivamente, no son congruentes con...
Nemmeno duecento pagine, ma tutto lo stile e la maestria di Zafòn sono qui perfettamente concentrati. L'estate del suo tredicesimo compleannno, Max si trasferisce con la famiglia in una villetta in riva al mare, su un paesino della costa. Il ragazzo e la sorella Alicia stringono presto amicizia c...
