The Watcher in the
Shadows is a novel written by one of the most famous Spanish authors, Carlos
Ruiz Zafón. It is an ambiguous and surprising book which explains different stories,
with a lot of mystery and a powerful plot. It explains the romance between
Irene, the main character, and Ismael, a young sailor, and the bloodcurdling
story of Lazarus Jann, a mysterious toymaker who lives in the depths of
Cravenmoore, an enormous mansion which is settled by hundreds of living machines
created by the toymaker. Irene and Ismael will have to bear and fight with a
nightmare creature hidden in the depths of the woods.
I would like to
recommend this book especially to teenagers because it is brilliant, unsettling
and quick and easy to read. Sometimes it may scare a little because it is full
of hair-raising descriptions which keep you to sleep but it is a novel that
passes you deep emotions. Finally, it
has a lot of enigmatic situations that motivated you to continue in the
reading.
“No valía la pena perder el tiempo en intentar cambiar el mundo; bastaba
con evitar que el mundo lo cambiase a uno.” Carlos Ruiz Zafón
