3. birisi genç veya güzel kelimelerini kullansa
4. birisi deli dese
5. birisi bir aziz/azizeden bahsetse
6. birisi GERÇEKTEN EN ÖZENTİ TİRADA başlasa
7. birisi en mükemmel hayatına hakaret etse
8. dr. igor delilik maddesinden bahsetse
9. birisine yatıştırıcı iğne yapılsa

'Veronika Decides to Die' is a strange book in that it's intention isn't really to tell a story, but to tell you a philosophy. Yes there are characters and even mild plot points but ultimately the author is more interested in you understanding the meaning behind the characters and his belief of the freedom contained in 'madness'.

It's an interesting book, but I did find myself wanting it to be more plot driven. The writing however, is beautiful, probably some of the best prose I've ever read, often feeling like a poem or the retelling of some dream. Everything flows. Yet at the same time, I'm not sure I can really recommend it to anyone as it is not a traditional story, and certainly wasn't what I was expecting. It is a short read however, and it does make you think (no matter how preachy the author is about the way he thinks his readers should see the world).

This book altered my brain chemistry in my sophomore year of college, and I've been too afraid to go back and read it since. I had called it a favorite book, but I've read more books since then, so we would have to see if it holds up lol
