Definitely this is one of my favorites. I liked the story and the mystery, but I felt like something was missing in the end because it left me with a bittersweet taste. But it was creepy and great.
It's fantastic !! Speechless !
Como todos os livros de zafon (talvez a exceção de o jogo do anjo) é sensacional... A história, o mistério, envolvimento do leitor com os acontecimentos e as cenas muito bem descritas ...
Como nem tudo são flores, o efeito e os avisos em correr vibrantes contornados com luminárias néon e led diz, em letras garrafais “Não se apeguem !!!” Morre gente demais nesse livro
Lagrimas de um choro amargo de perda (além do termino da história) queimaram meus olhos ao fim do livro..
Acho que é da euforia por acabar de ler agora mas... Por enquanto, este livro rendeu-me ótimas horas de coração apertado e embora o pequeno complexo de edipo (vale para irmãos??) ou tensão sexual que rola entre os gêmeos - ou seria apenas aquele apego e desejo fraterno nunca dantes existido que os levou a tamanho carinho desenfreado? -, gerou seria afinidade ao clube dos 7+1 e toda a Calcutá.
:D
