I really enjoyed it, though Shadow is definitely my favorite. I can't wait to see what he has in store for the other two books in the series. <br /><br />I think it's a fascinating way to approach the books, all connected, but they can also stand alone. They enhance each other, but aren't dependent upon one another. Great review!Melissa (Avid Reader)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02119628715475021774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2463216142910370346.post-87250659746565845742010-02-09T13:57:02.806-05:002010-02-09T13:57:02.806-05:00I have read both The Angel's Game and The Shad...I have read both The Angel's Game and The Shadow of the Wind. SotW is one of my favorite novels of all time. I loved it that much. I think even though the novels can be read in any order, you appreciate the characters and the setting so much more by reading both. <br /><br />FYI - Zafon is known as a YA author, and one of his YA books is going to be published in English and comes out in May (I believe) called Prince of the Mist. If you're a Zafon fan, you might want to check it out!Alison (Alison's Book Marks)http://www.alisonsbookmarks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2463216142910370346.post-42630555444352627722010-01-18T13:48:09.723-05:002010-01-18T13:48:09.723-05:00I LOVED The Shadow of the Wind and I've been e...I LOVED The Shadow of the Wind and I've been eagerly waiting for a copy of Angel's Game to become available on Paperbackswap.

Shadow of the Wind left us all with some pretty specific expectations of Ruiz. But The Angel's Game, I think, is equally brilliant in its own right.<br /><br />For the record, Ruiz is writing four books in this series - not necessarily dependent on each other but sort of linked. Note the reappearance of Sempere & Sons. <br /><br />I have met Ruiz twice so you might want to check out my review for my thoughts on Ruiz, the person, not just the writer. Incidentally, he composed a musical score as an accompaniment to The Angel's Game and it is gorgeous.
