This book makes you think about what insanity is. The book explores the experience of a young woman who, having survived a suicide attempt, finds herself in a mental asylum, where she is told irreversible damage has been done to her heart and she will be dead within a week. It is sad that some peopl...
I read Veronika decides to die yesterday. I don’t know what was expecting but it wasn’t what I found when I read it. I watched the movie some time ago and I liked it, it wasn’t good but it wasn’t a terrible movie either, so I just thought that maybe the book was better and I would like it. Truth is ...
I just don't... get it.This is one of those book that many of my friends seemed to love but I didn't. I liked it, sure. It dragged in the first half and became boring but then it picked up pace in the second one. I kind of enjoyed it. And there are many things that annoyed me.Veronika's reasons to s...
I don't know why but I still haven't gotten to reading other books of Paulo Coelho. This is the only book I've read and I loved it. I love how it made me think about things in a new light. I kind of understand Veronika's desire to die young. It's a wonderful book.
Coelho suffers from the cheesiness factor but sometimes you have a bus in two hours and that times just disappears in readable, Khalil ghiban inflected prose.

I absolutely don't understand wyh this book is on 1001 books list. I'd rather put it on a 1001-books-you-definitely-don't-have-to-read list.I really don't understand why Coelho is so popular. I read two of his books (the other one is The Alchemist) which were both highly praised. I really didn't see...

If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, would you live differently? Would you regret the things you did, thinking you shouldn't have done this or that?And to this, Coelho writes, why wait until you're dying? We're born to die , isn't that the saying? Certainly we'll die, and we don't know when....
I enjoyed this book, although it didn't seem to be as developed as the other books I have read by Coelho. Then again, it is a completely different topic than any other book of his I have read as well. The book reminds us all just how short life is and to not take any day for granted. The main c...
