Book Description

November 21, 2006

Son tiempos de guerra, y la familia Carver decide dejar la ciudad donde vive para instalarse en un pequeño pueblo costero donde han comprado una casa. Pero desde el momento en que cruzan el umbral de la puerta, comienzan a suceder cosas extrañas. En la misteriosa casa aún respira el espíritu de Jacob, el hijo de los antiguos propietarios, que murió ahogado.

Con la ayuda de su nuevo amigo Roland, Max y Alicia Carver comienzan a desenvolver las extrañas circunstancias de esta muerte y descubren la existencia de un misterioso ser llamado El Príncipe de la Niebla . . . un diabólico personaje que ha regresado de las tinieblas a saldar una deuda de años atrás. Pronto los tres jóvenes se verán envueltos en una aventura de barcos hundidos y estatuas encantadas, que cambiará sus vidas para siempre.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you can read Spanish, read this book, June 25, 2007
This review is from: El Principe de la Niebla (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
I've been fascinated with Carlos Ruiz Zafon ever since I read The Shadow of the Wind two years ago. I would have gone into a shameless author binge sooner, but his previous novels have either not been translated to English or I have had not luck finding them in English. After enduring the sight of this book and three others by him, targeted at the young adult market, I finally broke down and decided to put my skills in Spanish to the ultimate test of reading an entire book. (I'm a native Portuguese speaker who's never learned Spanish properly, but reading comes with little effort.)

It was well worth the minor struggle of reading this wonderful story in its original language. Zafon's writing is, of course, much less mature and polished than in TSOTW, but it still shines bright. The story isn't complex, but the main character is vivid. I imagine that this book would find a lot of interest among 12 year olds with a taste for suspense and bewilderment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Este es un gran libro... sin embargo, April 5, 2007
This review is from: El Principe de la Niebla (Spanish Edition) (Hardcover)
Este es un excelente libro. La lectura es bastante sencilla de llevar. El autor hace un gran trabajo en capturar la imaginacion del lector. Sin embargo no le puedo dar 5 estrellas, ya que hay varias lagunas en la historia que al final dejan con un sabor agridulce.
A pesar de estas fallas es un libro que disfrutaras muchisimo, una excelente inversion...
Es excelente para aquellos que quieren iniciarse en el mundo de la lectura, y para los fans de los libros de misterio este tiene lo suficiente para hacerlos pasar un buen rato... totalmente recomendado..
