I am a practicing attorney in Texas. Constantly sleep deprived from reading late, watching movies, I read about 125-150 books a year. I read and review mystery, horror, literary, history/biographies and some best sellers--anything that takes me into an alternative universe or makes me see the world in a different way. I post reviews on Goodreads, Booklikes, Amazon and Twitter. I am a NetGalley reader and pre-read for published authors.
Masterful homage to Frankenstein and all things gothic. Is there anyone who writes gothic stories better than Zafon? I don’t think so.
As atmospheric and beautiful as Shadow of the Wind (which is saying a lot) but in a novella. One of my top 10 of the year.
5 stars. Top 10 for the year.
