Once again Zafon has written another breathtaking book which left me disappointed in the ending. He is a fabulous writer but somehow in this book, as well as in The Shadow of the Wind (for which this book is a sort of prequel), the last 50 pages or so just don't live up to the expectations created by the previous 450 pages. It's like he doesn't know how to end the stories after they have gone on for so long, so he just ties up his loose ends too fast and any which way, and fails to leave one feeling like the book ended in a satisfactory manner.
