This small book packs a lot behind it. This book is a psychological study of good vs evil, of life in a small dying town, and a thriller to boot.

WHAT A ROLLER COASTER RIDE!!! I LOVED IT!!! This novel has all the highmarks of a taut thriller. France 1985. The nation is on the eve of elections, scheduled for March 1986. The Socialists, after being in the political wilderness for decades, came to power in 1981. Several party members and associa...

I enjoyed the story, but found that for such a short book it took a long time to read. Not sure why really. I just kept finding other things to do than read. My only guess is th...

Coehlo writes a simple but powerful message in an easily accessible style and provides the readers with a glimpse of the human paradox that is the capacity to contain both dark & light in the same soul. Coehlo extends this ex...
