I think The Thirteenth Tale is a good follow-up. It’s a similarly gothic literary story. The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova would also be good.

Thanks, if I loved Shadow of The Wind do you have other recommendations?

Well, Steven, we don’t really get solid answers to those questions, and Zafon intends it that way. These are books where you just have to sit with the ambiguity. If you revisit Shadow of the Wind, I think you’ll get your answers to questions 1 and 5.

Shadow of The Wind was great. Angel’s Game was good. I am guilty of having a clear understanding and a true beginning middle and end. I can really use some help:

1. Who is Christina in The Epilogue?
2. Who is the boss and does he exist ?
3. How was David cured or was he never actually sick?
4. Who committe the murders?
5. Did David and Isabella love one another?

Hello,

I just got finished reading “Tha Angel’s Game” I had already read “The Shawdow of the Wind”(We used for this months book club) was wondering if anyone can help me with the ending???? You can reply I guess to this post, thanks a bunch. My sister in law read it also and we both had different takes.

I’ve read some mixed reviews of it, and I think it might just be a taste thing. Zafon’s style really does it for me. If he’s not your cup of tea, you were wise to move on. I think having read The Shadow of the Wind makes this one more appealing, also.

IS it that good? I have an ARC too, but didn’t review it… because I never finished it. I got a good ways in but just wasn’t emotionally involved, which disappointed me because the story synopsis had me convinced I would love it. Guess I just wasn’t in the mood… but I’ll give it another shot.

I think you’ll be just fine that way, Sandra….if you read them in reverse order, I’ll be really interested to see if it changes your perception/experience.

I have this book on my ARC-alanche pile. How cool is this: I’ve read a review for Shadow and for Angel’s Game in the same day. I can’t think of the last time I read reviews for two diff books by the same author in the same day I’m looking forward to eventually getting to this one.
