I have just read this book. My Spanish is not great (say about AS level equivalent), but I found that I could follow the story even without understanding every single word. The build up is superb and the ending quite emotional. There are parts towards the end where (without giving anything away) the action can get a bit tedious - but it was essentially written for teenagers and I imagine they would love it - it would certainly make a very good vehicle for a Guillermo del Toro film.
There is a good and varied use of vocabulary which has certainly helped to improve my Spanish. On the strength of this, I have just bought his "El Palacio del Medianoche".
I too am amazed that a previous reviewer can give a bad rating on the basis of it not being written in English when the item description clearly states the language to be Spanish

Just to point out that amazon have infact highlighted that this book is in Spanish: Below the ISBN information is does infact say: "Popular in this category: #21 in Books > Fiction > World > Untranslated > Spanish"
So far as I know no books other than The Shadow of Wind have been published in English.

Being a big fan of Ruiz Zafon's work I was instantly drawn to this book. I had not heard of it before I saw it in Amazon.
Although the narrative starts with a bang, it didn't deliver in the end for me. Ruiz Zafon lost the plot towards the end. It was a shame really. The book started with a lot of intrigue and mystery - he is a master at that - but couldn't hold the tempo. It's readable but I won't go out to buy copies for my friends.

Returned as it was not clear that this item was published in Spanish which I do not speak. I hope The Midnight Palace which I have just ordered is not in Spanish too.
