Veronika Decides to Die is truly the best book I have read. There are so many truths about life and so many lessons that can change one's view on the world, that I do not think it is necessary to say what it is about. Read it and you will see. What I want to say is that Paolo Coehlo's style, simple and pure, can grab the attention of the reader from the first sentence and keep it until the end. I hope it will bring you the same relief and inner peace it brought me.
Ms. Potash's note: I liked
By The River Piedra I sat down and Wept, The Devil and Miss Prym and
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho - books with similar themes about living life.
