The Zahir 
I am not a fan of this author. At all. I'm sorry but I find his books to be extremely boring. I am not a fan of books that focus on the protagonist trying to find their inner happiness or spirituality or some shit. It's all like it's not about the ending but the journey there blah blah. The moral of the story is blah blah. Total snoozefest. I would not have even read this book if I didn't have to read it for a challenge. Plus I have no idea what the protagonist's name is. Was it ever mentioned?
This book was not of the same quality as Alchemist but still presented some noble and elevated concepts as presented in all of paulo's books and perhaps the reason I read his books is that they always tend to feature some sort of spiritual quest. There is also a aspect of Sufism in Paulo's books which make them more eminent.The unnamed narrator of this story is a writer whose wife, Esther, a war correspondent leaves him suddenly without any information or trace of leaving. When she disappears,

A great book for anyone struggling with attachment or ownership of something that you love."I heard other people speaking in the name of freedom and the more they defended this unique right, the more enslaved the seemed to be to the parent's wishes, to a marriage in which they had promised to stay with the other person "for the rest of their lives," to the bathroom scales, to their diet, to the half-finished projects, to lovers to whom they were incapable of saying "No", or "It's over", to
The very little things that made me detest this book: I believe that each reader creates his own film inside his head, gives faces to the characters, constructs every scene, hears the voices, smells the smells. And that is why, whenever a reader goes to see a film based on a novel that he likes, he leaves feeling disappointed, saying: The book is so much better than the film. The thing is, Paulo never describes ANYONE or ANYTHING clearly.In this book although the main character is obsessed
I have to say, at times I found myself obsessed with this book about obsession. At times, it didn't quite flow or seemed to bring in random points, but I felt like I just "got it" and completely understood where he was coming from. Coelho's words resonated deeply within me, and in fact, helped me to "see" and unlock some feelings that I haven't been able to understand for quite some time. In that sense, it was like an Eat, Pray, Love for me. Not to compare authors, literary styles, or anything
Can I give no star to this book? No? Okay. Let's start. I AM SO GLAD I FINALLY FINISHED IT because it was going on and on forever with no purpose. Why I hate it, you ask? Because it pretends to be something it's not and has an annoying main character. It's the best example for how not to write a book. You know the "show, don't tell" advice that writers give a lot? THIS BOOK IS ONLY SAYING AND TELLING AND HOPES THE WORDS BECOME SHOW. But you can't say the character changed and evolved (and it's
