Marina

I loved this book. I like the way the author writes. So descriptive that the characters are so alive in your mind. I have also read The Shadow of the Wind which I also enjoyed, but because Marina is written in Spanish I had to take more time to read it, as there was a lot of vocabulary that I didn't know, so I seemed to take in every word. Fantastic practice for anyone learning Spanish

This author's books are great for people trying out reading a Spanish novel for the first few times. The stories are gripping and the language is not too complex.

A very good way to learn Spanish. I'd say it's "A Level" standard. The story is intriguing although clearly aimed at young adults, in the same way Phillip Pullman is in English. Likeable and useful.

Absolutely loved this book!! If you have ever visited Barcelona you will feel like you are there again as this is where the story is set. Couldn't put this book down and great for practicing my Spanish reading skills.

Beautiful writing, gothic atmosphere, suspense...love it

it was very much on the same lines as watcher in the shadows quite disappointed as i read them almost back to back

Aunque el final es bastante fantasioso, el libro es uno de mis favoritos. No pude dejar de leer hasta el final.

Preciosa historia, le coges un cariño a los protagonistas increíble! Bastante adictivo y fácil de leer, sin duda lo recomiendo totalmente.

Es un gran libro. Ruiz Zafón fue un gran escritor.

El libro ha llegado en perfecto estado. La versión es española.Comprado para un regalo.

Marina, by Zafón is one of those stories that when started wakens the curiosity and keeps one reading. It is written in excellent Spanish, and Zafón takes the reader into a fantastic world of intrigue. Marina is laden with mystery which leads the reader to live alongside the protagonists and actually visualize what is taking place and where everything is occurring. The vivid descriptions of the Barcelona of olden times gives the reader a historical view of what once was and how great it was.I do recommend a good command of the Spanish language if Marina is read in Spanish because no translation will do it justice. It is a great read.Muchas gracias al Sr. Zafón por brindarnos unas historias repletas de intrigas y misterios las cuales nos llevan a otro mundo sin igual.
