 ... Although Chris doesn't believe in angels as much as her husband does, in this book she begins to believe in them a little bit more. Or as Paulo puts it she begins to understand more about their existence. I'll be honest I wasn't too impressed by the plot of this book. I expected to be really impressed by it, because I have heard so many great things about Paulo Coelho as a writer. But for me the story was just a bit, well stupid. I don't want to sound cynical or anything, and I enjoy the occassional bit of fantasy (I'm ...more

The book had all the elements of Paulo Coelho: magic , spirituality, self ...  Read the complete review
