Sinoć dovršila Princa magle, prvu Zafonovu knjigu (i prvi dio trilogije). Knjiga mi je super, iako se vidi da ju je pisao neki "mlađi Zafon", dosta mi baca na Kinga... ali kako taj čovjek ispriča priču da je jednostavno vidim sve kao na filmu, svaki detalj vidim iako ih on ni ne opisuje... Ne...

Une famille emménage en bord de mer pour fuir la guerre en 1943 en Angleterre. Mais leur nouvelle demeure semble hantée et d'étranges évènements se succèdent. Suspense et malédiction jalonnent comme toujours cette oeuvre de Zafon. ON commence à connaître la chanson...

    Corto un poco de miedo para mi por que tine cosas que me dan un poco de miedo, bueno pero no llega a ser claro o no termina fuerte.

    Sinoć dovršila Princa magle, prvu Zafonovu knjigu (i prvi dio trilogije). Knjiga mi je super, iako se vidi da ju je pisao neki "mlađi Zafon", dosta mi baca na Kinga... ali kako taj čovjek ispriča priču da je jednostavno vidim sve kao na filmu, svaki detalj vidim iako ih on ni ne opisuje... Ne znam, priča ima sve, brzo se čita, zanimljiva je i lako pisana. Nije nadahnjujuća kao Sjena vjetra, ali svakako je ljubitelji Zafona trebaju pročitati, ali i općenito sva mlađa populacija koja i ne poznaje Zafonov rad... Mislim da je već mogu djeca čitati krajem osnovne škole, ali komotno i mi koji smo blizu tridesete.
    Sad žeđam za druge dvije knjige da dovršim trilogiju.

    Radi se o obitelji koja pred rat seli u malo primorsko selo, u kuću iz koje je obitelj odselila zbog utapljanja dugo željenog sina. Od samog početka dešavaju se neobične stvari, a i priča oko obitelji je u najmanju ruku neobična. Brod potopljen kraj sela prije 25 godina, dječak opsjednut potopljenim brodom, filmovi pronađeni u kući nesretne obitelji, kao i dvorište kipova iza kuće... a onda i pad malene Irine niz stube, koji pokreće cijeli niz zlih slutnji koje se i ostvaruju.

    If Zafon were a chef, this is his amuse bouche. It's an early work. It's not too deep, but executes well. It's YA, so I suppose that's to be expected?

    Has some spooks, and an intriguing villain... until later when the villain is not as intriguing (slight disappointment).

    Fan enjoyed this one. Quick and entertaining, but does not reach heights that would come later (Shadow of the Wind).

    This was for the Book Whisperers book club or I probably would not have read it. It was good but could have been better. I feel like there were glitches, continuity was off, and something else. Cool story and very eerie.

    Reading The Prince of Mist was like reading The Graveyard Book all over again. There's a similarity in their plots.

    Very quick read. Not quite up to Shadow of the Wind or Angel's Game, but still an interesting story. Maybe it will be stronger when linked up with others in the series. Very sad ending...
