El juego del ángel (Carlos Ruiz Zafón)

David Martin is a seventeen year old who works as an assistant in a newspaper of second row of the Barcelona of the early twentieth century. After years of enthusiastic reader and miserable existence, he begins to write short stories. Given the brilliance of his stories and with the help of an influential mentor, able to post your serials on the back of the newspaper. One day, he receives a mysterious letter from a Parisian editor gives you the opportunity to write to order a very special book.

After "The Shadow of the Wind" millions of readers waited anxiously the next work of Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I have read many opinions from readers disappointed, but this is not my case. It is true that really moved me less than "The shadow ..." and that is less endearing, however, is very well written, engaging from start to finish, does not lose intensity at any time, in order: it was a pleasure to read .

is a dark book, romantic (in the strict sense of the word) and to some extent, a tribute a los relatos folletinescos como los que escribe el protagonista. Vuelve a aparecer el cementerio de los libros olvidados y la familia de libreros Sempere, aunque en este caso el protagonista es un joven escritor de penoso pasado, tortuoso presente e incierto futuro.

Puntos a favor: está escrito en un registro culto, pero a su vez fácil de leer; no aburre en ningún momento y cada vez que finalizaba un capítulo pensaba: 'uno más y paro'; el último tramo del libro es trepidante y cuando al fin lo terminé tuve un ataque de nostalgia, razón inequívoca de lo mucho que me metí dentro del relato. Muy bueno el personaje de la aprendiz del protagonista, la extraña relación entre ambos me ha parecido lo best in the book.

Cons: little I can say, maybe they could have shaped a bit more some people like the police, simple archetypes. When you are just dark spots left many possible interpretations to the reader (this one will see it a virtue, but I prefer stories a little more "closed").

I have understood that this is not the last book in the saga of the "Cemetery of Forgotten Books", hopefully not decline.

My rating: very good.
