About the book

Zafon combines sincere engagement with genre tradition, with clever touches of the literary post-modern....This is explicitly, and joyously, a book about books, about what can be learned from them , and what is lost when they are lost. (Steven Poole THE GUARDIAN 2012-06-30)The Prisoner of Heaven is the third part of the story and, like the first, is narrated by Daniel Sempere. But it too contains stories within stories, and the real narrative here belings to the irrpressible Fermin Romero de Torress...Zafon's characters and dialogue are as lively and full-blooded as ever. (Stephanie Merritt THE OBSERVER 2012-07-08)Written with his characteristic exuberance, this wonderfully atmospheric, historical mystery is an adventure story of the highest class - fast paced and stylishly written. (GOOD BOOK GUIDE 2013-01-01) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. The third in the cycle of novels that began with THE SHADOW OF THE WIND and THE ANGEL'S GAME.

    i have a feeling that carlos ruiz zafon didn't wrote the books, i mean he technically wrote it, but when you read the book, you will feel that its really the protagonist who really wrote the book -- zafon is only an organon to convey the story that the character in the story wrote. did i even make sense? no, well it did make sense inside my head, though. i was awed and amazed how carlos ruiz zafon manages to combine the events in the angel's game and shadow of the wind with ease, clarity, consistency and smoothness. i think, the prisoner of heaven, is kind of a bridge that connects the story of its predecessors. the story is very instantaneous, it covers a lot of grounds that answered some questions but also give birth to new questions and mystery, which leads to to the conclusion that there is going to be a fourth book -- this gives me an impression that the first three books is only a glimpse of the entire cemetery of forgotten books universe.

    Genialer Dritter Teil! "Der gefangene des Himmels" verbindet in einzigartiger Weise die ersten beiden Teile miteinander und man trifft viele Protagonisten wieder die einem im ersten Teil sehr ans Herz gewachsen sind!
