 The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon | PopMatters Book Review
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Conversely, it's right about the place when author Carlos Ruiz Zafon - whose fifth novel this supposedly marks -- starts piling on the subplots, extraneous characters and forays into divergent genres like gothic horror and romantic comedy in a bid to cover up the lack of story.
This book reminded me a lot of Neil Stephenson's cult SF novel Snow Crash: not in its content or choice of genre, but in that both works start out with a crackling, great beginning, and then squander any initial promise by adding redundant plot twists and characters.
