Carlos Ruiz Zafón

Carlos Ruiz Zafón is a spanish writer that was born in Barcelona in 1964. He is considered one of the bests spanish writers of the last two decades. Winner of a lot of awards and he is the list of the best spanish writers of the best 100 books from the last 25 years. The book that reached the top of his literature is called: "La Sombra del Viento" (the shadow of the wind). 

The most known works are the triology of: "La sombra del viento", "El juego del ángel" and "El prisionero del cielo". Before, he wrote four books for teenagers: "El príncipe de la niebla", "El palacio de la media noche", "Las luces de septiembre" and "Marina".

I have chosen that writer because is the first book I read that has introduced inside me a feeling of fear, suspence and intrigue. I think is a very good writer because he discribes a scene as he wants and you can imagine everything so there is no way to get out of the story.
