the midnight palace by carlos ruiz zafón

Growing up as orphans in 1930's Calcutta, the seven members of the Chowbar Society all believed themselves to be children with no past and therefore the future was free and open. Now at sixteen years of age and legally adults, the members of this group are meeting up for the last time. The second is to protect each member of the group with their lives. The first is to share all knowledge they possess, learn and come by. DNF ( )įor the past few years the Midnight Palace has been home to the secret club of the Chowbar Society, a select group of people who live by two hard and fast rules. I think the narrator did a great job (Jonathan Davis) and I liked the sound effects on the audiobook. (I wasn't a big fan of Shadow of the Wind) Came and looked on here to see if the other bad reviews were saying the same things and made it official. I listened for the rest of the car ride home. So all the explaining she gave, she had to undo and give us some other versions to follow. Then we get to the grandmother and she was lying. It was like book 3 of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. babies were saved, their savior was murdered by a guy who took a bullet to the head and survived then the rest of the book was explaining. A couple big things happened in the beginning. I have a CD and half to go and I'm quitting. I think if you are going to list street names- For example 'Chandra Chatterghee's house stood on a quiet street that led from Jatindra Mohan Avenue to Acharya Prafulla Road, about a kilometer and a half north of the Midnight Palace.' then you should include a map. Now I will continue with the audiobook in hopes that I can follow along better.Īudiobook has some nice ominous music at appropriate times. I got a copy of the physical book and started re-reading with google maps open and a pen and paper. The unfamiliar names and locations were making it difficult for me to absorb the story.

Yikes! I started listening to the audiobook and I couldn't grab onto what I was hearing.
