Já percebi que Paulo Coelho não é para mim. Assim com em "O Alquimista", este livro apresenta uma história de fácil leitura mas que no fim não se traduz em nada de interessante.
Não me encantou, também não desgostei, mas no final não fiquei com nada de bom no livro.

Thank you to net galley for this ARC. I have read many books by this author and generally they carry a meaningful message for the reader. This too carries something for the reader to take away but I feel as if it took a long time to get there, maybe that is reflecting the autobiographical nature of the book where a path has to be followed before a goal is achieved..
The main part of the book book follows Paul Coehelo and his travelling companion Karla as they travel towards Nepal in the Magic bus from Amsterdam. There is a small cast of characters that they meet along the way, all too searching for that inner meaning in life that seems to be symbolised in the free flowing, drug taking way of life.
I enjoyed some of the vignettes - that of Jacques and Marie which showed that even wealth, power and position may not be enough and I particularly liked the section that showed us that a life without love is a life only half lived
For me this is a good book but not the best from this author
