Loading... Brida (2008)by Paulo Coelho
None. Made me realize that I should have stuck with The Alchemist (and possibly Onze Minutes). Coelho is confused. (  ) lucthegreat | Jul 21, 2012 |  This book was a huge disappointment. I always hesitated to read it, but didn't know why. Now I do. Yes, Coelho is a skilled writer. Beautiful phrases, great one-liners too... BUT: a book about witchcraft, witches, the traditions of moon and sun, a character called Wicca and not even one time the goddess is mentioned?! The god that is talked about is not the pagan god. I'm sorry to say, but this story has nothing to do with witchcraft as I know it. (  ) Tinkerbell-NL | Feb 5, 2012 | because of the Tradition of the Moon you can geuss the interior of a shop window? Either this book is too deep for me or it is just all made up and makes no sense. I usuallly love his books but this is not one I woudl recommened. (  ) kakadoo202 | Dec 23, 2010 | A beautifully crafted book and one that for some reason many people see as having a resonance with my own life. (  ) | Oct 3, 2010 | edit | A decent read, not as soul touching for me as "The Witch of Portobello." (  ) artwench | Aug 3, 2010 | no reviews | add a review
