by Paulo Coelho
Introduction and Acquisition
Heard of it back a few years ago when it was at its height of popularity, as the self-help book of the day. finally got around to reading it now, October 2007, borrowed from library
What's cool
It's definitely a feel good book, well infused with Golden Nuggest of Wisdom and Universal Truths. but, as i desire to poke fun at it, I must say it was quite a salve on my agitated mind, two different hours of the day, two different causes of the irritation. pulls one out of one's limited life and reminds us all that there is a bigger picture, etc etc
What sucks
Simplistic, almost biblical language and tone, life lessons in the costume of parables. It's about men, of course, and women are reverted to the background. Adventures don't apply to women.
