I can't explain why I picked this book up in my local library except to say that it may have been "a magic moment of the day" that the book tells us about, during which we can change things. Even so, when I started reading it, I thought it a bit weird. But something, perhaps curiosity, or perhaps another "magic moment" made me continue.

Coelho markets this one as an arduous yet inspiring journey which revolves around love. However, merely to finish reading the novel potential readers might find themselves on a voyage as laborious and gruelling as climbing a mountain, only to find the view from the summit far from inspirational. The story centres on the relationship ... Read the complete review
