"The Angel's Game" by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

[rhu]

Earlier today, I posted the following on my Facebook feed:

"The Angel's Game" by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, translated by Lucia Graves. You must read this novel. Yes, you. I will say no more because I don't want to spoil it.

I don't want to post an actual review, because I really don't want to spoil it for any of you. But I will say this: I was captivated by Zafón's lush writing. The book is fantastic (in both senses) and for a while I was wondering how long he'd be able to stay balanced on the knife's edge of plausible impossibility -- or is it implausible possibility? In any case, the answer is... well, read the book.

Really. Reserve it at Minuteman right now. Because I want to discuss it with everyone, and I can't until you've read it!

Thanks for the tip. I went to my local library and placed a hold. It said there were 24 holds on 22 copies. :o)

Um. Is it ok if I reserve mine at the BPL instead? :-> Done, in any case.

He's right. I read it too and it was astonishing.

I have the book and I'm about ten chapters in. Enjoying it quite a bit.
