La Sombra del Viento (Spanish Edition)

Review:Lectura que te tiene en suspenso continuo. Los personajes son los mismos de El Juego del Angel y El prisionero del Cielo. Las historias se continuan de una a otra novela dando un panorma mas amplio. Read more

The Angel's Game: A Psychological Thriller

Review:I would have never heard of the first book Shadow on the Wind--it had just been published in English for the first time and my cousin sent me a copy.Everyone in the house ended up reading the first and second book.
Both books were well written with many plots-characters and subplots-very interesting read.
A must read--especially if you have read the first book. Read more

The Prisoner of Heaven: A Novel

Review:The author pulls the reader into the place and time with all of his novels. He weaves the story like fine silk and the reader begins to be one of the characters in the book. The characters become friends who one cares about, and has concerns for. My biggest regret is that I have finished it and there are no more in this series. Read more

Kitchen (A Black cat book)

Review:Yoshimoto provides an insight into death and life and how, even though one may have their circle of friends for support, it's the family circle that matters in the end. I really enjoyed Yoshimoto's close description of Mikage and Eriko, the 'supposed' mother who is transvestite.It was the first book I have read that describes the characters and their emotions. A job well done and this novella deserves many rewards! Read more

Review:This is what I was promised: Condition: New

So the books are apparently not new, or the delivery is of a very bad quality. Also I had some problems with the delivery at first, but the communication with the seller is really good, and he solved ... Read more
