A review by tinarucek
The Devil and Miss Prym by Paulo Coelho

2.0

Quite a simple writing, monumental idea but very poor execution, reads like a bible - story with some parables thrown in for a good measure. Describes, but doesn't show, preaches instead of telling a good story. Unbelievably flat characters, simple language. I decided to give Coelho a chance since I'm going through 1001 books list, but I have to say I retained my opinion of his work I've formed at 14 after reading Brida. Sad to see that between ten years he has written these two books, his writing hasn't evolved one single bit.
