The Prisoner of Heaven Mass Market Paperback – 26 February 2013

Prachtig boek

I am currently reading all of this author's books since The Labyrinth of the Spirits had captivated me. If you love beautiful literature, but also like a bit of suspense and mystery, a bit of surrealism, this is for you.However, the print I received from the seller Cocoblu is rather questionable. The print is not properly aligned to the pages and on some of the pages it shows a file code at the bottom (see pic). Either this is a defect print or an unofficial copy. Asking full price for a print like this does sting a bit to be honest.Anyway so far it seems to be complete as far as content is concerned. It's readable, so I wouldn't want to give less than 4 stars.

I love the Cemetery of Forgotten Books series. This one is a bit slow sometimes but it’s still very good.

No Damage or issues. High Quality book. Impressive Cover. Loved the book so much. Little Expensive comparatively other parts of same series.I'd completed first book of cemetery of forgotten books and loved the book. Eagerly waiting for remaining books.

At last, another installment of the Shadow of the Wind series! I do not want to say trilogy because after I finished this book I felt that there is room for more novels in the series. I was slightly disappointed to see that this novel was only 294 pages where his other books were lengthier. Carlos Ruiz Zafon is a master storyteller no matter how many pages are in the book. When reading a book that belongs to a series, sometimes you are able to read the series in any order you choose, this is not one of them. If you have not read Shadow of the Wind or Angel's Game and are considering reading Prisoner of Heaven, you should stop and read the books in order. If you are like me and read the other two books a couple of years ago, you may want to go back and read them again. These books are definitely worth another round. Prisoner of Heaven contains the small cast of characters found in the other two books. These characters are vibrant, alive, and jump off the page. Some characters are inherently evil while others are good, but the best characters contain several shades of grey between good and evil.Prisoner of Heaven takes place in Barcelona in 1957 where Sempere and Sons Bookshop is starting to fall on hard times during the holiday season. A mysterious man visits Daniel Sempere in the bookstore and is searching for Fermin Romero Torres (another employee of the bookstore). When Daniel mentions the visit to Fermin, Fermin has no choice but to reveal his mysterious past to Daniel. About half of the book is a flashback of Fermin's past when he was imprisoned in the tower with the author David Martin from Angel's Game. Fermin is also about to marry his sweetheart, Bernarda, but has to get a few things in order first. My favorite feature of these stories is the dialogue. I am glad I read this on my kindle so that I may go back and refer to the highlights, but the hardcover book is so beautiful that I may just have to get a copy of that too.
