Have you been able to find a character map or list that is free? I wanted to make a character map, but didn't want to bother if there is already one out there

Nuria Morfort - Julian Carax is not a man, he is a disease.

I've started to read this. It's so beautiful! Zafon is like the Spanish F. Scott Fitzgerald!!!

cemetary of FORGOTTEN books. not rare. awesome review though :) I've read this book eleven times and it still enthralls me.

Your hot!! :)

I absolutely LOVE that book. The best ever. The Angel's Game is pretty impressive too, (the ending isn't as good) but this outshines it in my opinion. The way Zafon writes is inspiring, and the connections between the characters in the mysterious post- civil war Barcelona is fascinating. Someone please translate more of his books into English 'por favor' !

Awesome book!

If you don't think there is a lot to think about or there are many literary connections, you are very mistaken. There are so many allusions and references he makes and expects the reader to understand. Plus, most of the names of the people in the book relate to people in history that have connection to the character. Many different intricacies to think about.
