There's something about Coelho writing style and subject matter that does not 'speak' to me as I think he intends to do for his audience. I will admit this was simple and quick to read and has good messages "reminders" for readers to lead life with as a better version of themselves. Irregardless, this is the second book of his I have read and found myself not impressed, and doubly not impressed with all the hype surrounding him. Perhaps it is a translation issue or it is just too simpleoid for me, an avid reader. His writing style reads for non-avid readers which is totally fine but simply bland for my taste. I will still try to read his other novels in hopes for progress.
