63. The Blind Assassin 174. The Devil and Miss Prym by Paulo Coelho- this is way better than the Alchemist, which I hated. It's very message oriented, but it's interesting and well written and I just really liked it. Although the ending left me a bit cold. 65. The Devil and Miss Prym
An interesting take on the battle between good and evil. I found the first half difficult to get into, and very slow moving, although once things really began to get moving I got more into the book.

Not a terribly productive 1001 month for me, and hopes aren't high that April will be much better. But May is looking to be a month ... ... contrary in my last post on the March thread, I was bored and unwilling to do schoolwork last night so I sat down and read The Devil and Miss Prym in one sitting! A very easy read, and pretty fascinating if a little predictable.
Unsure what my next read will be. The following sit on my TBR ... ... you for being so patient with me TQD), and posted Love without hope on also, without even opening.
I started reading The devil and Miss Prym, after entering into Freelunch's Oz VBB, but realised I was taking to long, so sent that along also.
I'm now about four chapters in to Transit ... ... was enjoying it, it was just too much on the old wrists, and not the best choice of bedtime reading.
But, I did pick up The devil and Miss Prym by Paulo Coelho, and have been able to read a few pages.
I hope that fog clears soon....
But, I plan to read The wind-up bird chronicles ... The Devil and Miss Prym by Paul Coelho - still on the TBR pile The Devil and Miss Prym seems to like to play tricks on me; like packing itself away in the middle of a move, so that I forget everything that I read and need to begin again.
I accidentally packed it at the beginning of the move, and instead of trying to figure out what box it was it, just ... ... Hmm.
Anyway, I see that your love affair with Coehlo seems to be cooling a bit. That's a shame. Did you ever read The Devil and Miss Prym? I thought that was one that you had and enjoyed, but perhaps I'm mistaken.
Cheers! Regarding Coelho: I found The Alchemist rather lame, thought The Devil and Miss Prym was better but really not my sort of book, and have heard (from friends with similar tastes and views on Coelho) that Veronika Decides to Die was actually rather good. I still got rid of my copy anyhow, life's ... ... the end I assure you that I felt let down in a big way. The story was great and the writing was good, the end sucked.

Interesting--sounds similar to my daughter's comments on the book. You might try The Devil and Miss Prym as well. Both books are part of a series by Coelho that seems to be ethics based. I've enjoyed his work very much--simple stories with deep themes. ... who like Veronika Decides to Die by Coelho plus Devil in the White City by Larson.
