Score: 5/10My wife is always right. As they all are……would be, I’m sure, a very polarising beginning of a review which is aimed to connect, so I will start a little differently.(I’m sure though, I would get some “Totally know what you are talking about…” Just sayin’…)She (my wife) said: “I think he ...
I've heard great things about this author, from people who I consider to have good taste in writing. I have a feeling I just picked the wrong book to start on from him. Looking at the other reviews I see the indication that this is not as good as his other work. So, I'll try something else at some p...
Un beau parcours, une belle recherche, une introspection et beaucoup de questionnements sur l'amour et nos relations. Un peu dur à aborder au début, le livre devient plus aisé à lire ensuite. Certains passages m'ont touchés, certaines phrases interpellés mais j'ai eu du mal à m'attacher à l'histoire...
This book was something of a drag. A man's wife leaves him. There are no arguments and she does not explain anything. She just leaves and, of course, he is wondering why. His description of the courtship explains it pretty well to me. He had expended a good deal of effort to get her interested in hi...
I have to say, at times I found myself obsessed with this book about obsession. At times, it didn't quite flow or seemed to bring in random points, but I felt like I just "got it" and completely understood where he was coming from. Coelho's words resonated deeply within me, and in fact, helped me to...
I loved this book throughout its entirety. Coelho's writing style, once again, devoured me into this book and took me away to the place in which his characters reside. The subject matter struck me to the core on many levels. It was also very pertinent to my life in the present, which touched me...
Not your typical romance novel, but an excellent love story, nonetheless. It's not so much about 'obsession' but about the journey of the (re)discovery of oneself and of selfless love.
This was a tougher read for me - I did a lot of pausing to consider what I'd just read, what it meant, and what I thought about it. I didn't really respect or like any of the book's characters, but I did appreciate their journeys through the idea of love - love as commercialism sells it, love as we ...
This book has a rather interesting story for me, more interesting than most, lol. I picked this book to read as my Z book for an A-Z Title Challenge. Coinciding with that two things happened. First, one of my book groups here on GR decided to read it as a group read, and then a bunch of my friend...
