Quotes
"If you thought the true gothic novel died with the nineteenth century, this will change your mind. THE SHADOW OF THE WIND is the real deal...One gorgeous read."
- Stephen King for THE SHADOW OF THE WIND
"Anyone who enjoys novels that are scary, erotic, touching, tragic and thrilling should rush right out to the nearest bookstore and pick up THE SHADOW OF THE WIND. Really, you should."
- Washington Post for SHADOW OF THE WIND
"Wondrous...masterful...THE SHADOW OF THE WIND is ultimately a love letter to literature, intended for readers as passionate about storytelling as it young hero."
- Entertainment Weekly, Editor's Choice for SHADOW OF THE WIND
"Gabriel Garcia Marquez meets Umberto Eco meets Jorge Luis Borges for a sprawling magic show...His novel eddies in currents of passion, revenge, and mysteries whose layers peel away onionlike yet persist in growing back. At times these mysteries take on the aspect of the supernatural. The figures appear beleaguered by ghosts until these give way to something even more frightening: the creak of real floors undermined by real rot and the inexorability of human destinies grimmer than any ghostly one could be...We are taken on a wild ride that executes hairpin bends with breathtaking lurches."
- New York Times Book Review for SHADOW OF THE WIND
"Once again I have encountered a book that proves how wonderful it is to become immersed in a rich, long novel...This novel has it all: seduction, danger, revenge, and a mystery that the author teases with mastery. Ruiz Zafon has outdone even the mighty Charles Dickens."
- Philadelphia Inquirer for SHADOW OF THE WIND
"The plot is labyrinthine, the characters and coincidences Dickensian, the whole echoing with literary flourishes and references. It's a bit like A.S. Byatt's POSSESSION and Arturo Perez-Reverte's THE CLUB DUMAS, with touches of Jorge Luis Borges, Umberto Eco, Ross King, Charles Palliser, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Bibliophiles will feast on its riches."
- Orlando Sentinel for SHADOW OF THE WIND
"Ruiz Zafon's visionary storytelling prowess is a genre unto itself."
- USA Today for THE ANGEL'S GAME
"Ruiz Zafon's narrative twists and soars, part dream and part slippery reality brought to life in vivid detail...A book for story lovers: expansive, rich and slow to digest."
- Denver Post for THE ANGEL'S GAME
"Absorbing...A literary centaur in which a meditation on the craft of writing is combined with a thriller."
- Los Angeles Times for THE ANGEL'S GAME
"A thriller laden with Gothic elements...A pleasure to read."
- Christian Science Monitor for THE ANGEL'S GAME
"A rip-roaring Gothic mystery...Will keep you glued to your deck chair"
- Seattle Times for THE ANGEL'S GAME
"As in THE SHADOW OF THE WIND, Ruiz Zafon spins a fantastically elaborate plot."
- New York Times for THE ANGEL'S GAME
