The story began extremely promising and I loved reading about all of the main characters stories and motives, but some parts were extremely weird and irritating (yes I’m mainly referring to the author’s self-insert in the story) + maybe it’s just me but

Veronika surviving was disappointing and more predictable than her dying

This is one of the books I believe should be read not for the plot but for the meaning and the journey of it. It was one of the best books I have ever read and I will stand by that forever. Just like every other Paulo Coelho book, it is decorated with literary elements, symbolisms, and poetic reading that will make you fall in love with the experience of it. Even though the plot is not very unique, the relationship between characters, and the character development is so captivating that it keeps you hooked until the end of it. I thought the book actually had a pretty good ending that left me satisfied and wasn’t too dark or depressing hence the title. It is one of the books that even though I was not convinced of everything, it did not matter because it was a great read from beginning to the end was truly life changing. Not surprising in its ending or plot, but absolutely beautiful and poetic.

Stomak mi se prevrnuo od čitanja ove knjige i to ne zato što je bila gnusna, nego zato što je tako istinita. Sve je postalo još teže kad sam saznala razlog iza trenutka u kome Veroniku naziva svojom prijateljicom.

Sve vreme dok sam čitala razmišljala sam o dve stvari: "da li je ova knjiga za mene?" i "šta je to ludost?". Nije mi bilo svejedno da je čitam, a s druge strane sam zavolela likove iz knjige najviše jer sam mogla duboko da ih razumem.

Ova knjiga bu mogla da spada u horor realnosti u koji smo kao čovečanstvo zapali. I zato ne bih mogla bilo kome da je preporučim. Ono u šta sam sigurna je da je kniiga teška i da vuče na razmišljanje. I da je vredi pročitati, u svoje vreme.

Volela bih da sam maj započela malo vedrijom temom, ali definitivno mi je drago što sam ovu knjigu pročitala jer je u suprtonom ne bih uzela.

I would say that the book was actually pretty good, I enjoyed reading through everyone's stories and their journey in finding purpose once again. However, it was a bit hard to stay focused, but I think that it's just a me problem, because it's also not my style of book. I've read quite a lot of physiological themed fiction and I'd have to choose them over this one. Nevertheless, I think it's a book worth reading.
