Took this book on holiday, it seemed like an odd choice given the title but I found it so engrossing and came to the end wanting more.

I can't be objective since it made me feel a big range of emotions because of personal reasons. I loved it.

A wonderful book from Coelho that is philosophical, thought provoking, and made me question situations that I dont normally consider. Well worth a reread.

Libro che porta un po’ la morale già vista del ‘ogni giorno è un miracolo’. Il punto forte del romanzo sono i personaggi, che mi sono piaciuti tutti, e mi è piaciuto che si sia parlato non solo di Veronika ma anche di come il suo arrivo nell’ospedale abbia influenzato anche gli altri pazienti. Quello che non mi ha convinto è stata la scrittura, un po’ troppo lenta e pomposa, ma verso la fine si è ripreso.

I don't know, I liked it and I didn't like it. It was inspirational in parts, but it also felt preachy and too obviously a "the moral to the story is..." kind of thing. If I'm looking for inspiration, I'll stick with Rilke.

Tal vez sea porque no es lo que esperaba pero se me ha hecho muy aburrido. He estado a punto de dejarlo un par de veces, pero bueno, he conseguido acabarlo. No diré que me arrepiento porque tiene partes que te hacen reflexionar pero, en general, no puedo decir que me haya gustado.
