The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz ZafónMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Sometimes books shadow life, and thus it becomes impossible to judge them beyond what impact they’ve had on you. Shadow of the Wind has been a perplexing book because it somehow fit life in that way. I don’t know what about it reflected on me, and whether that reflection is personal or universal. All I know is that it did reflect on me, in ways that few things do.
I enjoyed reading it the way one might enjoy breathing in crisp air in the presence of someone you love.
This review can’t do much more than talk about my own experience, far more so than most other ones I write. I was breathless, tired, ecstatic and lost as I read this. I hope you are too.
