The Midnight Palace Carlos Ruiz Zafòn Number of pages: 298 Edition: Little, Brown If I had to choose the worst book in my book collection, I would definitely choose this one. Let me start with the good things. Okay, Carlos Ruiz Zafòn has a good style in writing: he writes in a way you won’t be able to stop reading even if you hated every word you read (kinda like what happened with me). However, this book is just awful. It tells the story of two twins separated after their birth, the boy put in an orphanage and the girl raised by her grandmother. For 16 years, the grandmother tried to hide the girl as much as she can, and she never told her the truth of her parents’ death. The problem is that the plot is so childich that it made me want to puke. And the worst part was the ending: it was so unbelievebly weak that I actually laughed when I read it. If you read the book and you liked it, feel free to disagree and share your opinion. But as much as I love mystery books, I didn’t like this one at all. Rating: 2/10
