I believe that everybody has a book that makes them fall in love with reading. 
 Shadow of the wind is that book for me. I don't remember who gave this to me, but I fell in love with this book when I was 14 years old. 
 I have been re-reading this book every now and then. This is the fifth time that I finish this book with tears in my eyes. 
 Now that I'm older, I feel like I appreciate the way this book is written in a different way. The chosen language is what makes this book so special for me. 
 I love the way the story unfolds piece by piece and gives you insight in this mysterious person called Julian Carax. 
 It's tragic, the way this story evolves and leaves me with a little hole in my heart for Julian Carax after I finish the book. 
 Best character, without doubt, is Fermin. The way he talks is awesome, he makes me laugh! I love the conversations in wich he takes part. 
 I don't know how to tell you how much I love this book and why. I just feel that you should read it for yourself. 
 Mister Zafon, you are a magician with words for me. I will always adore Shadow of the Wind like it was my first and wil be my last love.
