The Shadow of the Wind

I've recently finished reading The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón and I thought I would reflect on it and give a short review on here.

The book follows Daniel on his quest to discover about the life and mysterious findings of the author Julian Carax after he chooses his book from the 'Cemetery of Forgotten Books'. It is a  book full of mystery and discovery and as you find out more  along Daniel's journey to discover the truth you become more intrigued into the characters lives and the secrets that have been hidden.

Carlos Ruiz Zafón is the perfect storyteller and his writing is remarkable. The book also celebrates and highlights the importance of literature with words reveling in the joy and the art of digging into a good book.

"Bea says the art of reading is slowly dying, that it's an intimate ritual, that a book is a mirror that offers us only what we already carry inside us, that when we read, we do it with all our heart and mind, and great readers are becoming more scarce by the day."

This quote from the book shows that we should celebrate literature and read more books- you'll never know what your heart and mind might discover! To books! :)
