I've just started reading on it, and I agree that it's really a good book. Currently even though I'm just on chapter 6, I'm already mesmerised by the book. The author described emotions in such explicit details and used lots of good metaphors in this book.

Here's one of my fav:

"One of the pitfalls of childhood is that one doesn’t have to understand something to feel it. By the time the mind is able to comprehend what has happened, the wounds of the heart are already too deep."

I think Zafon really knows how to reach the deepest part of our hearts with his words ^^ The book is melancholic to me overall (at the moment) but I would strongly recommend this for anyone that loves to read.
