What would my life be without books. The books that I like, I can go on about. But what the mean to me..well, they are my life. The place I escape to when all else fails. My savior, my comforter..the books take over where ever my heart fails to hold things true.
First book I have read of this author and I was captivated. The book definitely has an old world feel. Having never been to Barcelona, I could almost feel the city live through he ebb and flow of the story. As the story proceeds to through the unlikely hero Daniel's life, you manage to slowly untangle the similarities that create a web that binds him and the author he is curious about - 'Carax'.
The book is so well written that you travel through with Daniel into adulthood never realizing the steps you took with him through the twists and turns of his life. You know as much as he does so the mystery unfolds to the reader at the same pace it does to Daniel.
This book reminded me of the classics I love to read even though it was a mystery novel.
