“There's a great video interview with Zafon at http://www.bordersmedia.com/borderspresents/zafon. Also check out his website -- http://www.carlosruizzafon.co.uk/--he's composed music to accompany his next English translation The Angel's Game and posted for download there.”
“How many people guessed the identity of Laín Coubert early on? I suppose I don't really think about that kind of stuff, but it didn't occur to me until I realized all the other possible candidates either died or weren't, well, charred.”
“I thought this book was recommended to me--maybe it was, maybe it wasn't--but I picked it up on a whim when the itch in the back of my head told me it was worthwhile. I followed the itch and then turned page after page over the course of a month until I sighed at the book's end. It was a gripping, entertaining journey with colorful characters with tormented souls and terrible luck. The language and diction made even the driest exposition a wonder to behold. Daniel's sordid adventure will always be held in high regard on my bookshelf. Thank you, itch.”

“I have never read a book like this before! The translation and the story are absolutely perfect! It is a page turner with depth and "meat"!! I can not recommend it enough! AND....now there is a prequel! The Angel's Game!”
