- Carlos Ruiz Zafón's latest novel, The Angel's Game, shares the same traits that made The Shadow of the Wind an international sensation: an ominous plot, wonderfully realized characters, and a conspicuous reverence for books and reading.

I really hope they make a film of one of his books, that would be amazing, I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world. I can imagine seeing the cemetery of forgotten books ...
In Angel's Game, I read along intensely enjoying the story; then I read Chapter 8's discussion between Corelli and Martin which completely stimulated my mind. I cannot shake loose of it and continue to argue points in my thoughts. This is a true challenge to intelligence, morality, and faith. I will order the third book today even though I may never be relieved of the challenge of this book.
I just finished the book and i experience the same thing. I keep arguing points and questions in my mind trying to make sense of this incredible story.
He's so captivating... rest in peace, such a shame he was taken away too soon.
Absolutely adored both SOTW and TAG, mesmerizing artworks. Haven't had a chance to read the two other books but I'm sure I'll once again not be able to put them down until I've finished them!
An outstanding author and I'm grateful to have been able to appreciate what he has created.
I have read all 4 in the series. Fantastic masterpiece all 4 books
I shall miss him. I got Angel's Game first, and began the epic journey. Rest in peace. =(
One of my favorite authors!! His way of describing things gives me serious gänsehaut!
So sorry about his death 😢😢 RIP 💖
Outstanding author, such a sad loss, RIP.
This man's a GENIUS, I tell ya, A DAMN GENIUS. I feel so fortunate to be able to read his books in their original language (Spanish, I'm Mexican). I must get more books from this man.
im sorry for saying this but he died recently on june 19 , i speak spanish too
@@ashenone3050 I found out earlier this week. This one actually hurt, rest his soul. Like 2020 didn't suck enough already :(
He left us incredible gifts. Let's make sure his books don't end up in the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, he lives on through them, allowing us glimpses at his soul.
Carl Mart loved what you said. He’ll live through his works for a long long time.
And yess! Reading the books in the original language is a gift on its own. Lucky you!
I know a little Spanish and I’m willing to perfect it further just to be able to truly grasp these 4 masterpieces.
Which one was your favorite? (If it’s possible to have one)
@@monikaboshkova139 The Angel's Game was probably my favorite, I'm not done with Labyrinth of Spirits though, so we'll see if I like that more or not. Also got Marina on sight, that'll be the next one!
Carl Mart haven’t heard of Marina but I’ll definitely put it on my list.
Cheers!
damn its 2024 and i already finished both shadow of the wind and the angle's game , and i really enjoyed reading them . what made me hold on for little bit and not continuing reading the other two books of the series is his death . to be honest there was something i could not understand in the angle's game book , and it was about why martin in the book is not aging , i wanted to know if martin became a devil like corllie too. and when i searched for it and i got to know the heartbreaking news that carlos ruiz zafon is dead .damn what a lose for this world to lose someone like him ....
I think him not aging was just his delusion, as part of his mental illness. I don’t think the Cemetery of Forgotten books series really has that many supernatural elements, other than the fact AC is seen as the devil but is most likely just in David Martin’s head
and here I am, just found his book in 2024 and after shadow of the wind and the angels game I feel like I found my new favourite author and so shocked to found out that he is already gone from this world T.T
just finished it. WOW. There will be future novels/sequels. I cannot wait!
this book is amazing. I love this author. Angel's Game page 256 right now..... Thank you!
All hail Carlos Ruiz Zafon.
i've read the shadow of the wind and it was a great book
i loved it
i hope this one's gonna be as great as it is
...or even better
It definitely is! Honestly, it's such an enjoyable read one has to decide between pacing themself and finishing it in a couple of nights like some kind of fever dream.
I listened to the excellent English language audio book of The Angel's Game...I laughed, I cried.
RIP ❤️
I agree with you 100%. This is a great writer of our time. I wonder why he doesn't write in English! I didn't know he speaks English.
His English is better than most Americans. What a boss :D
He's awesome
I have read all the books he has written, except the last one, in Swedish, English and Spanish and I prefer the Swedish version
It's the same story in the three of them, regardless of the language, why do you prefer the Swedish version over the Spanish and original, or the English one? If a book is good, it will be equally fine in any language.
Marcos Villavicencio yes but it also depends on the translator. They are able to change phrases and give them a new sounding within the same meaning so... I’ve also noticed lots of differences when I read in two different languages. I hope I’ll perfect my spanish enough so that I can truly read the writer’s words.
I'm a crank because I dont have any subscribers, no loaded videos, no favorites, and no youtube friends? WOW
You're 100% right.
I shouldn't voice my honest opinion about a book I was really excited for, but unfortunately felt let down after reading it.
@Ben10888 for real i felt the same way i was in love wit cristina lmao even after i finished the angels game i was feeling kind of sad i hope he does make the other 2 books
I'm starting to think i missed the point of The Angel's Game. i felt like it was 530 pages of chess that ended in checkers. I loved the shadow of the wind and its one of my favorites. Please someone respond with how you felt about the last hundred pages because it didn't follow for me.
What a shame he died so early - I used to "swallow" all his books. Excellent literature and that's why when last time in Barcelona I had to make a detour and go and see the Palau which is repeatedly an important subjec of the stories - Thank you for the splendid stories! th-cam.com/video/_rDlW1Jl-Cs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=66zaLA0xH25Pfvur
I didn't understand how Andreas Corelli do not get old.....And why after he has left Barcelona David Martin said that "my reflection is the same as the night I left Isabella in the port of Barcelona and not a minute older". So, this means that Corelli, David Martin and Diego Marlasca do not get old..WHY? I think is something related to Corelli. Will I find the answer in the Prisoner of Haven?
I think David and Marlasca sold their souls to Andreas Corelli. That's why they don't age.
these needs to be films.
jrof2011 nope, film usualy are worse than books. is should stay on paper... especcially beacase it is bout "books"
He is on record as being dead set against screen adaptations of any of his books. It is ironic, too. He lives in LA, which is the entertainment center of the world.
David Andersen yeah plus we works as a screenwriter so totally ironic but I understand him.
This comment was beautiful!
It's better.
This book was slapped together. To many unanswered questions. Intriguing at times, but overall very disappointing. Who is Corelli and what's the deal with Christina at the end?? PFFFT
