Title: The Midnight Palace
Author: Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Did I listen or read?: library book
When did I finish?: Jul 1, 2013
When was the book published: 2011
Main Characters: the boys and 1 girl of the orphanage who hang out at the Palace - Ben, Ian, Michael, Safir, Isobel, Roshan and 1 more. Jawahal. Sheere and her grandmother, Araymi Bose
What happens? A woman gives birth to twins but is murdered. Their grandmother splits them up because the murderer is coming for them. He comes back 16 years later when the boy (Ben) is "graduating" from the orphanage. This all takes place in Calcutta in 1932.
How long was this? 298 pages
Did I like this? The guy is a great writer, and the characters are amazing, but it is a horror story full of conflagration and fire and I don't care. It's not like Harry Potter, where the whole thing is made up, it's just surreal nonsense.
Overall grade: C-
