Oh thats a shame, why is it that you cant go anymore?
My maths teacher at the time, he was the one who got me into Paulo Coelho and leant me "Veronica". At first I was kind of sceptical and thought it would be a bit slow but I actually found it more grabbing than I thought I would lol It got to a point in the book where I thought "I know where this is goin" but I found that I didnt really matter that I could kind of guess the plot because, as you say there is alot more to his work. The character's emotions were enough to motivate me to finish it, if that makes sense lol And I guess, thinking back, as a troubled youth, it was probably quite comforting for me in a way! lol
It's really great being able to discuss his books :)

You have probably read it by now, I've been away a while but I really enjoyed it. Paulo Coelho can't seem to disappoint! lol
The Girl with the dragon tattoo, did you like that one? Have you read Winner stands alone?
I really want him to come to England so I can meet him!
