It’s difficult
to choose only one book, because there are so many
books that I love… But I
choose Marina, by Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
This story takes place in Barcelona in the
XX 20th century. It’s about Óscar, a boy who lives in a boarding school. One day, walking around, he discovers a neglected big mansion. Marina lives there, and Óscar
and she establish a friendship. Since thirty years ago for thirty years, Mijail Kolvenik
obsesses about the idea of immortality and correcting people’s deformations deformities. He keeps
himself alive by a serum, but it starts to run out… When these two stories
cross, Marina and Óscar will be in a real danger.
I really liked this book. It
has it all: thrill, danger, romance,
sadness… But above all, it’s a story about
compassion and love for the most important person in your life. The end it’s
very thrilling. And the book has also got a lot of thoughtful and philosophic
quotes. Carlos Ruiz Zafón got it: after “The trilogy of the fog”, he surpassed
himself again.
