Narrative During Books The Angel's Game (El cementerio de los libros olvidados #2)

From master storyteller Carlos Ruiz Zafon, author of the international phenomenon The Shadow of the Wind, comes The Angel’s Game — a dazzling new page-turner about the perilous nature of obsession, in literature and in love.

The whole of Barcelona stretched out at my feet and I wanted to believe that when I opened those windows — my new windows — each evening its streets would whisper stories to me, secrets in my ear, that I could catch on paper and narrate to whomever cared to listen…

In an abandoned mansion at the heart of Barcelona, a young man, David Martin, makes his living by writing sensationalist novels under a pseudonym. The survivor of a troubled childhood, he has taken refuge in the world of books and spends his nights spinning baroque tales about the city’s underworld. But perhaps his dark imaginings are not as strange as they seem, for in a locked room deep within the house lie photographs and letters hinting at the mysterious death of the previous owner.

Like a slow poison, the history of the place seeps into his bones as he struggles with an impossible love. Close to despair, David receives a letter from a reclusive French editor, Andreas Corelli, who makes him the offer of a lifetime. He is to write a book unlike anything that has ever existed — a book with the power to change hearts and minds. In return, he will receive a fortune, and perhaps more. But as David begins the work, he realizes that there is a connection between his haunting book and the shadows that surround his home.

Once again, Zafon takes us into a dark, gothic universe first seen in The Shadow of the Wind and creates a breathtaking adventure of intrigue, romance, and tragedy. Through a dizzyingly constructed labyrinth of secrets, the magic of books, passion, and friendship blend into a masterful story.

Write-Up Regarding Books The Angel's Game (El cementerio de los libros olvidados #2)

Ill say one thing for Carlos Ruiz Zafon, you never think you would like to lay his books aside while you are reading them. He presents you with one mystery after another and little clues and pieces that you know are going to figure into the story later but can never imagine how. I find it amazing that anyone could begin to conceive to such complex storylines.David Martin, an aspiring writer, finds himself embroiled in a very complicated web of evil and sometimes supernatural occurrences, and

The Angels Game was written by someone who, at times, reminded me of the Zafon I met through the pages of the extraordinary Shadow of the Wind. Up until the final third of the book he was pretty much there, with his bewitching desriptions and his unique way of painting pictures that can haunt you in your sleep. And then, someone took his place. An anxious guy, chased by editorial deadlines and pressured by factors that have little to do with the act of writing. In the end, few things made sense

Menace Not as good as Shadow of the Wind. I really like Carlos Ruiz Zafons style as he manages to create a feeling of menace and foreboding in his writing that is just perfect for a mysterious thriller. There is always a hint of supernatural that brings an eerie haunting atmosphere that keeps you wondering whats right around the corner or whos watching. The main character is made an offer that he can't resist but what is the real cost?While the guessing game is what we all love in a mystery we

The Angel's Game actually takes place in the same area of Barcelona as SOTW. Set in the period just before the civil war that leads up to SOTW. The main character is David Martin, who at the beginning of book is working at a newspaper & gets his chance to be a writer. Soon with the help of of his friend & mentor, Perdo Vidal, he is able to lift himself out of poverty & start writing for a living.He soon leaves the newspaper & starts writing pulp fiction under a pseudonym for a

This book was ALMOST a 5 star read for me. I really, really enjoyed it, and wish that I could give it 5 stars, but I feel like the loose ends were kind of rubber-banded together, rather than tied up all nice and pretty. But first I want to talk about the writing. GOR-GEOUS. Ruiz Zafon captured me with the first paragraph. In fact, while I was reading "What Dreams May Come" right before this, I snuck a peek and then almost didn't put it back down to finish "WDMC". I mean, look at this:"A writer

Once more, Zafon takes his readers to a thrilling ride into a web of stories. And any ride with Zafon is guaranteed to be breathtaking.In the Angel's Game, Zafon has again exhibited his specialty in leading his readers into a series of intricate stories. He makes sure his readers enter that labyrinth of events so engrossed that they would hardly feel that they have been sucked into it. But great Zafon makes sure that his readers come out of it safe. He really has that talent of giving little

I absolutely loved The Shadow of the Wind and expected this book to be my favorite book of the year. Perhaps my expectations were too high to give it a fair chance. I didn't care for the story. I rarely felt like picking the book up after taking a break but continued to think that there would be some redeeming aspect as I read and was closer to the end. I would not recommend this book- it was terrible. I lent it to a friend and she didn't even bother finishing it (she reads a couple hundred
