De schaduw van de wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
5.0

I've started this book in january. I've put off reading for a long time, because I did not wanted this book to be over. But that is bullshit, I have all books writen by Zafon.. And suddenly, over summer, this book started to shout at me that it wanted to be finished, so I sat down with it.

9 months ago, I fell head over heels with this book in the first couple of pages. I borrowed my moms copy. I put it down after 20 pages or so to buy my own copy, and all his other books. The best buy I ever did.

The story is beautiful, and the writing is gorgeous. I've read lovely stories before, and I've seen beautiful writing, but this book has BOTH and it is almost to much for me to handle. I love this book with my whole heart and I still feel like this book deserves more than that.

Oh, and that ending. It is the most perfect ending a book can possibly have.

I have an all-time favorite book. *hugs the book*

This will be reread.
