I loved The Club Dumas! Not only am I a sucker for anything with a hint of gothic, but having recently read and whole-heartedly loved The Three Musketeers I especially loved the parallells with that wonderful classic.
The style was very similar to Carlos Ruiz Zafon's Shadow of the Wind. I'm not sure if the similarity is due to the Spanish culture, (both authors are Spanish), language translation, or some other factor. I am sure, though, that if you enjoyed one you would enjoy the other; and if you've never read either, I highly recommend them! You need not be a fan of Dumas or even familiar with his work to enjoy The Club Dumas. It's just a terrific, suspenseful, exciting read as it is.

“This was one of my first Perez-Reverte books and I simply fell in love with it. I have since read it several times and have purchased it in Spanish to compare with the English version. ”

“Good literary thriller along the lines of Umberto Eco. NO SUPERNATURAL STUFF. Basis for a film that completely perverts the plot.”

“I really enjoyed this one. Partly it's about the mystery. Partly it's for the supernatural suspense. But largely it's because it's so booky. Though the scene with the burning library was unconscionable. Shame on you Perez-Reverte!

The rest was awesome.”“One of the best mystery/suspense novels EVER. I couldn't put it down. Loved the historical facts author is using (double-checked on them!). The presence of the Devil makes it even more suspenseful.

The movie with Johnny Depp wasn't bad either.”
