Here, the heroes are three teenagers who one summer will live an amazing adventure and more. Max, the main character landscape with his family in a small English seaside town and discovers an enabling environment of mystery and terror. Upon arrival a number of elements seem strange encounter him and he will do will only reinforce his suspicions. Jacob, the second main character will indeed confirm that the strange phenomena occur and that abnormal events worries.
As always fantastic and is very present here, we can again note the influence of the favorite books of the author since one can read his character Prince mist Gogol as an allusion to the Devil manifestation him looks .
Stylistically, this book remains a "first novel" with its small flaws, so the suspense is not very strong as the end is easily predictable. Fans of Zafon will be delighted to discover the "young plume" of the author but the others remain a bit unsatisfied.
A good time of relaxation which reads in two short hours.
