Veronika Decides to Die

Paulo Coelho 

 

I actually was glancing through a book shop and when suddenly this book caught my attention. I 've previously read The Alchemist and i thoroughly enjoyed it. But veronica was pretty awesome. In a sense, it was the truth of the western world and will be applicable to the eastern world which is actually involved all the time in copying the west. And from a very depressed state, with no great ambitions or desire in everyday life, veronica decides that life is not worthy of living and after a failed attempt to end her life, she wakes up in a totally unexpected place, the home of the mentally depressed. And she finds the anger, desire, hope and above all love in that place.

I could not but admire the skillful way in which the story is narrated and i really really have become a big fan of paulo coelho. The story is complicated and simply, paradoxical and inspirational..

The character of Edward is still making me admire the novel and actually it took 3 and a half hours for me to finish the novel standing the book shop itself, and still went off to buy it.

It is a transformation from irritation to hope, from disgust to pleasure. Please guys read it. and those who feel very down (after a broken relationship or something) , try reading this, it'll reveal you the uncertainity of life.

you never really know what's up to you in the future...Read it. It's as pacy as a shoaib akhtar delivery and as interesting as a spielberg movie.But you always get one thing on extra which you don't get in ss movie or sa delivery,
that's what i call and still admire the novel for"LIFE"
