I'm not quite sure what I thought of this book. It's ok, but for a book that tries to be philosophical it seems a bit too simple?! I have only read one book of Coelho before, but I liked that one better. Well, this book will now continue its journey!

As I've written a while ago about "The Zahir", as brilliant as "The Alchemist" and "Veronika Decides to Die" are, I have always found the others books I've read by Coehlo disappointing. They always seem to repeat the same "philosophy" over and over. I've tried reading a few pages of this book and had that impression again, and I didn't feel like reading further on.
Hopefully its next reader will enjoy it more.

Well thanks so much aunt-sophie for brining me this book. It is on my wishlist because it is part "1001 Books to Read Before You Die", so I have challenged myself to read all (or as many as I can find) off that list.
I will get this started as soon as I can!
