The Cemetery of Forgotten Series Books 1 - 5 Collection Set by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (Shadow of the Wind, Angel's Game, Prisoner of Heaven, Labyrinth of the Spirits & The City of Mist)

What a story!! What a page turner!! I read the books in order, and even though they say you don't have to, I'm glad I did. If only every writer could be this good!!!

Very intriguing and page turning

Ruiz Zafón spins a good tale. I read all of them in chronical order. It's a good way to get a feel for Spanish Civil War life (before, during, and after). As an historian, I always find era-based fiction to get personal perspectives. It was a horrible experience for Spaniards, who were subjected to 36 years of Franco's dictatorship, an omen for the U.S.A. at present.

This is just a great series, a must have.

GREAT WRITTER

By the time you get to book #2, halfway the story gets tedious and when you hit volume 4, it's just torture to read. Book #1 is terrific and then the author gets too long-winded. I was just worn out and bored by it all.

A friend had given me the first book” shadow of the wind” and was hooked! I’ve now read “ the angels game “ and am currently reading “ the prisoner of heaven”. I am not disappointed!

His way to describe a scene and tell a story you feel like you’re there in Barcelona just amazing amazing amazing writing!!!!!!
