The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon

The Angel's Game is Carlos Ruiz Zafon's exercise in spinning the reader through a Faustian labyrinth filled with gothic mystery and tragic romance. This is sumptuous and dark fairy tale writing, with some serious thoughts on good and evil and the search for the human soul. Many memorable characters search for solace in this world; sadly, they, along with the reader, don't find much comfort or clarity in a disappointing conclusion that is more shadow than revelation.
