Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Ambientada en la Calcuta de los años treinta, El Palacio de la Medianoche comienza una noche oscura en la que un teniente inglés lucha por salvar las vidas de dos niños de una amenaza impensable. A pesar de las insoportables lluvias del monzón y el terror que lo asedia en cada esquina, el joven británico logra ponerlos a salvo, pero no sin perder su propia vida...
Años más tarde, cuando los dos niños, Ben y Sheere, están en víspera de celebrar su decimosexto cumpleaños, la amenaza reaparece en sus vidas y esta vez no los dejará escapar tan fácilmente. Con la ayuda de sus valientes amigos, los dos hermanos deberán desafiar el terror que los acecha en las sombras de la noche y enfrentarse al enigma más aterrador de la historia de la ciudad de los palacios.

Zafon Characterizes this book, along with El Principe de la Niebla, Las Luces de Septiembre, and Marina--as children books.
They should be read in that context.
The Midnight Palace is the meeting place of a secret society (Chowbar Society) of seven orphaned children from the St. Patrick's orphanage in the 1930's Calcutta.
There, Ben, a twin, is dumped on a rainy night by his grandmother in an effort to keep them safe from a ghost. At age sixteen, the orphans are released to face life as adults and on the last meeting of the Chowbar Society, Sheere, Ben's twin is made a member of the society.
Together the society solves the mystery of the twins tragic history and fight the dangers that confronts all of them.
Not as good as La sombra del viento or el Juego del Angel, but still makes for a great read.

After reading The Shadow of the Wind and El Principe de la Niebla, both of which I loved, I wasn't impressed with this novel. There's a quality to the writing (or perhaps a lack thereof) that doesn't make it involving and I found myself not caring much for the characters. There are elements of gothic novel here, but the psychological stimulus for horror is unconvincing and so the supernatural element falls flat. Although I wouldn't regret reading it, the novel didn't leave much of an impression and I'm convinced that in a few months I will forget that I read it.

El reconocido escritor de la "sombra del viento", publica su nueva novela con su clásico aire de suspenso, que se inicia con la travesía en la ciudad de un tren en llamas, cuyo enigma centrará la trama del libro.

I have not read this book. I ordered it thinking it was the follow-up to The Shadow of the Wind. El Palacio... is an adolescent book as is El Principe de la Niebla, Marina, and Las Luces del Septiembre. So those of you breathlessly awaiting the follow-up to "Shadow", as I am, take note.
