No es uno de mis favoritos, me gusto mucho la historia sobre como el amor se impone y el deseo de ver realizados los sueños de ambos, muy buena autoayuda como siempre, pero no se siento que le falto algo de trama. No me senti del todo conectada. Total es bueno nada mas. (  ) mesalina | Nov 5, 2009 |  My first Coelho book. Initially I thought it was great. The story was relatively easy to follow, about a young woman taking a pilgrimage, the plot centering around her physical and spiritual journey. I'll be honest, I felt very noble and clever reading it, but as I went on, I found myself less able to describe what I learned from the book. This is the kind of book you definitely have to read twice (well for me at least) and THINK about, if you want to appreciate it. (  ) unlikelyaristotle | Aug 5, 2009 | This is one in a number of books I am reading written by this author I am trying to read them all , and so far I have liked all of them I have read. This was a very good book different than anything I have read before, I would recommend you read some of this authors books , simple and to the point but with a good message, this actually left me wanting to read it again. You have to watch his books thought(lol) sometimes they seem to turn up right when you need to hear what they are saying. ;0) (  ) averitasm | Jul 5, 2009 | A strange book centring predominantly around love and faith. The plot – about a girl taking a risk and following the man she loves into a new life – quickly becomes unclear, while the spiritual messages dotted throughout her journey are obviously ideas intended to provoke thought in the reader. Much is made, for example, of the Virgin Mary being a divine goddess, and the idea that God in any form must be a woman. Unlike The Alchemist, where the story and final message are clear, this is more subtle. I actually found it rather moving, though with an inadequate ending. ( ) elliepotten | Jun 10, 2009 | Profound as all Coelho's works seem to be, I think I enjoyed it even more than the Alchemist, either that or I came to it with an aded layer of maturity.
