This is simply the best book I've ever read!
First, you get all the mystery of the cemetery of forgotten books and old Barcelona, you learn its streets and places so it seems you are transported to Barcelona yourself and follow Daniel in all his investigations. It first seems to be a fantasy genre, but you then grow to understand that there could not be anything more real than this story. This is a book that you'll never want to say good bye to, but make sure that as much people read it as possible. This book changed the way I see literature now, it brought something new, new feelings and emotions, love and sympathy for poor characters of the story and hate for their enemies. It is so inspiring, it seems like you've lived their life, you've been there, you know and understand how they feel. It could not have been better! Highly recommend to all of you, any age, this is classic!
