I wasn’t looking forward to reading The Shadow of the Wind. I kept pushing it back further on the “to be read” list. I kept picking it up and putting it down. I even read Vanity Fair before The Shadow of the Wind because I was sure this was going to be a dud. I was soooo wrong.
From the first paragraph to the last, I was totally hooked. I love the idea of a Cemetary of Forgotten Books. I loved every single character in this novel, including the “bad guys”. I loved the twists and turns and the impossible connections between the characters. I even loved the ridiculous and completely impossible coincidences.
The only thing I didn’t like was that the book ended. And I wish, I really wish, I could read Julian Carax’s novels.

Well, shoot! This one sounds too good to pass up. I do NOT need to be even thinking of adding more books to my TBR.
I loved this book too! I’ve already bought it for a bunch of friends, and they have all loved it too. Great read!
I LOVED this book- read it last summer. I want my book club to read it, but I don’t even know how to explain it to people!!
