I'm spending six nights in Barcelona as from next weekend, but to be honest it already feels like I'm there :)<br /><br />Great review. I agree, that the last 100 pages of "The Angel's Game" were a little too much and all the twists started to almost come back round on themselves a little. But all in all, it was fantastic. I can't wait for the 3rd book in the series.<br /><br />Thanks too for the other books you mention in this post - I will check them out now :)<br /><br />SimonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687975489922145220.post-17541313199571218612009-10-12T11:37:03.844-04:002009-10-12T11:37:03.844-04:00Terrific analysis, El Fay!

It's an interesting thought.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11058705381647529328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687975489922145220.post-70527934976396097452009-07-13T07:48:12.898-04:002009-07-13T07:48:12.898-04:00Thank you for your awesome review.

The book is a bestseller in Brazil and yet many people dislike the end. A point that call my attenntion is the Corelli explanation that a book is more related to his form that content. I think that this is true for the Angel's Game.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12676588369971991058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687975489922145220.post-63328909426643782332009-07-09T07:43:45.553-04:002009-07-09T07:43:45.553-04:00Thanks!

I hope I can find this novel at the library soon, I really loved the atmosphere of the Shadow of the Wind! and I guess it's a good summer book as well.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687665641496205234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687975489922145220.post-81872200355441358112009-07-08T23:11:42.329-04:002009-07-08T23:11:42.329-04:00Our town's annual bookfair is this Saturday.
