I recently finished reading the book by Carlos Ruiz Zafon called 'The Shadow of the Wind', and I find it fascinating how the book taught me better English even though it had been translated from Spanish. The story was about a boy called Daniel 1933, lived in Barcelona who discovered this book: The Shadow of the Wind by Julian Carax. He began his curiosity in finding the truth behind his life and death, and becoming involved solving this mysterious crime and rumours he hide. As the story goes Julian's secret life has reflected on Daniel's personal existence, their loved ones. I was influenced by his beautiful words and plot containing such twists and wit. It was the best book I've ever read. Carlos Ruiz Zafon is Spanish, he won many awards for his novels and this book has been translated in 30 languages! I'm very much looking forward to his new book called 'The Angel's Game' released by the 1st of June. It has improved my English and I found the story very interesting.
