El juego del angel (El cementerio de los libros olvidados nº 2) (Spanish Edition) Kindle Edition

Que libro tan bonito, me quedo sin palabras , es un misterio que no puedes dejar de leer, cada palabra, cada capítulo, te atrapa, con intrigas, amor, mentiras, muertes, amor a los libros, el final es estupendo y muy sentimental. Voy a empezar el tercer libro de esta saga.Hemos sido testigos privilegiados de una segunda parte de la saga ( El cementerio de los libros olvidados)Si hubieran más de 5 estrellas se las daría.Gracias al Señor Carlos Ruiz Zafón por habernos dejado unos libros tan bonitos y con muchos sentimientos.❤️

Al leer este libro surge la comparación forzada contra La sombra del viento del mismo autor. Lamentablemente, El juego del ángel se queda corto, aunque solamente en términos de conclusión de la trama, por eso le he dado tres estrellas ya que el sabor de boca que deja es ligeramente amargo al no cerrarse apropiadamente todos los cabos sueltos durante la narración.LENGUAJE:Uno de los elementos brillantísimos de Zafón es su gran manejo del lenguaje--que por cierto se pierde totalmente con las traducciones. Yo leí La sombra del viento en inglés y en español. En inglés, nada que ver. Se pierde toda la riqueza del castellano y las comparaciones tan ricas, muchas veces jocosas, que hace Zafón. En El juego del ángel la riqueza del uso de idioma persiste, una de las razones por las cuales leo a Zafón.PERSONAJES:Los personajes son complejos, algunos de ellos con pasados tortuosos que se descubren poco a poco--otra característica de la literaratura de Zafón. El personaje de Andreas Corelli, empero, se queda incompleto y su naturaleza mistetriosa nunca es perfectamente revelada, lo cual deja un mal sabor de boca al término de la historia y es la causa de que yo solo le haya dado tres estrellas. Mientras que en La sombre del viento todo queda explicado, en El juego del ángel para ciertos eventos solo cabe la explicación sobrenatural raya en el recurso "deux est machina".HISTORIA:Muy cautivadora y misteriosa, aunque el final no solo queda corto, sino a años luz de la expectativa del lector.Recomendable si el lector disfrutó La sombra del viento, pero se debe bajar la expectativa bastante a riesgo de llevarse un fiasco con el final.

The only reason I do not give 5 stars to this excellent book is that the ending left behind a huge question, as another reviewer correctly points our. I do not want to give away plot elements so I will not discuss what it is. The plot and characters are excellent and the second half of the book had more tension and urgency than The Shadow of the Wind. I believe maybe some knots were not tied at the end because the author will revisit this in his 3rd book ( or 4th as I understand he published late last year a 4th book in thios series.It feels a little like any middle installment in a series, for example Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy, where The 2 Towers suffers slightly from being the middle installment.Having said all that, if you speak Spanish read it in Spanish. I read The Shadow of the Winds in English and this one ion Spanish and of course theoriginal version is slightly more clear as to what the author is saying.With that said, I recommend this book most heartily but make plans to read the next installments. It is rare these days to read a book ( or books as I read the first one as well) of such high quality literary level, complex characters and great plot twists. I will follow rthis author.

If you start in Chapter 40 of Act 2 [Kindle loc. 6122] "Ella le llama el patrón. . .", you'll be starting at an exposition which, in a few paragraphs, pretty much summarizes everything up to that point, and avoiding the mind-numbing, metaphysical and spiritual badminton between David and his sponsor.I enjoyed Book #1 of this series, but this second book felt like it was shoehorned together from barely connected stories.When Isabella was introduced, it looked like we'd be treated to some quality wit-pitting with David, as we were with Fermín and Daniel in Book #1, but her character disappeared into a weak connection with the earlier tome.Again, the main, female love interest [Christina] is thinly sketched.The denouement is exciting and entertaining, but it takes 600+ pages to get to it.All action occurs at the end of a dark _____ [hallway, passage, room, cable car]. No drama occurs where lightning is adequate!There is a Spanish-language audio version of this book. Good to have for those wanting practice with pronunciation, cadence, etc.

No sé porqué noencontré antes los libros de Ruiz Zafón; una vez inicias a leerlos, no puedes parar. En este libro el escritor nos muestra -en la segunda entrega- la genesis de la historia de su saga del Cementerio de los Libros Olvidados.

Yo soy un estudiante de español para las dos años pasados. Este es el segundo libro por Carlos Ruiz Záfon que he leido. Es un "prequel" de su libro La Sombra del Viento que yo también he leído antes. Ambos obras son monumentales! Los me gustan tan bien como los libros por escritores como Daniel Brown o Louise Penny. Emocionante, interesante, con corazón y intelligente. ¡Justo compré el tercero libro en la serie! ¡Lea este libro!

Es un libro de mucho misticismo, diferente a la sombra del viento pero muy bueno tambien. Cuando lei la sombra del viento pensè que serìa difìcil que otro libro de la saga me gustara igual, pero al leer el juego del angel creo que son 2 libros muy buenos pero diferentes, no los puedo comparar. En algunas ocasiones me dio un poco de miedo y preferia dormir con una luz prendida. Tiene un final no deja inconcluso nada pero se que debo leer los otros 2 libros para compreder ciertas cosas para las que no encuentro logica y explicacion.

Excellent, captivating and beautifully written. The Spanish version is demanding to read for a non native speaker. However, the storyline is so good and carries you through the more challenging parts - so don't be put off by the initial array of new words. If you have studied Spanish at A level you should be fine. Otherwise all Zafón books can be bought in English as well. Definitely recommend.

After reading the same author's "La sombra del viento", this book was a bit disappointing. I was really looking forward to reading it as I thought it would be of the same standards and, regarding the way Zafon writes, it is. But the plot is a bit weird. You expect a "grand finale" but as much as you read on this never comes and in the end you keep wondering what has happened. Also, in this book Zafon repeats himself a lot in his great effort to set the scene of the story in a dark, wet and mysterious Barcelona, sometimes spending more time in such descriptions than in the story itself. Of course, this is my personal opinion -based on my expectations after "La sombra del viento"-and maybe it's a bit strict, you'd rather read this book and find out for yourself, as you might really like it.

The item was exactly as appears on the information and arrived earlier. If you enjoyed “La sombra del viento” you will loved this one, too.

I have now read three of Zafon's books and certainly found this up to his usual standard. It is not quite in the same class as El Sombra del Viento but nevertheless carries one along very nicely.Zafon is a master of language and I find that I can fully enjoy and appreciate his style even though my Spanish is not perfect. My only criticism in this case would be that he seems to digress from the main plot from time to time. Don't expect a neat and tidy solution to all the strange events because Zafon does not provide this.

i am learning spanish with these carlos ruiz zafon books because they are an easy read, good plot, and take you into a barcelona of gothic style mystery to walk with unforgetable characters. agter reading one of zafons books you will want to read the authors others
