hello to the newest addition of mari's farm: the bookworm cases!
i decided to open up this section because i'm most likely what you call a bookworm. and because of that, i wanted to share my view on books i'm reading. i'm not always going to write about good books, there's the chance that i also read some crappy ones. still, i think that every book deserves some review, wether it's wonderfully written or catastrophically destroyed.
this first edition of the bookworm cases is about
CARLOS RUIZ ZAFÓN's
THE ANGEL's GAME
'everything is a tale, martín. of what we believe in, of what we know, of what we can remember and even of what we're dreaming. everything is a tale, a story, a series of happenings and persons, which communicates emotions. '
the story starts with young writer david martín who works as editorial journalist for crime scenes at a really not so famous gazette. he wants to be a big writer, after all, he's got the talent to do so. one day he gets a letter of a mysterious publisher who wants him to write a book for him, about religions and believings. and with that, he gets into serious trouble. a strange healing of brain cancer, mysterious deaths, a town house with opaque history, all these things turn his life into a fireball of unknown consequences.
this is a wondrous, magical story about the dark and light powers of a book, that has the intention to make human beings believe in something far more religious than the existing gods.
it's a story restrained in a thrilling and intoxicating voyage through the world of barcellona in the first years of the 20th century, in which reality and illusions are very close to each other.
