I read it in one go. I'm not religious or anything but this was a really inspiring and cute and thought-provoking (love) story. Would definitely read again

"El Río Piedra Me Senté y Lloré" me impactó por la conexión profunda entre los personajes y cómo a través de su relación, Coelho muestra la importancia de ser fiel a uno mismo. La novela invita a reflexionar sobre cómo a menudo nos dejamos llevar por lo que la sociedad espera de nosotros, en lugar de seguir nuestras verdaderas emociones y deseos.

This will be a book I re-read if, God willing, I ever return to a state of being afraid to love.

The few books from this author that I have read in the past was really enjoyable however this one is definitely not for me - at times it felt like an advertisement for the Catholic religion more than anything else.

Geez, I don't even know what shelves to put this on. Other than "read".

It's a DNF for me - a rare occurrence. I almost always finish books.

This one just seemed so shmaltzy and contrived. I got about 1/2 way through, thought "good grief", turned to the end and read that and gave up.

Oh well, on to another book.

it was....hmm.
ariana grande would have loved this bc this is basically a book about god being a woman, which was the only thing i liked about this book. very preachy. i find that the synopsis of his books are always more interesting than its contents, more often than not :/

Simplesmente lindo! Mostra muito bem como o amor é capaz de mudar tudo, trazendo coisas que sempre existiram dentro de nós e que até então pareciam escondidas; e sobre entregar-se inteiramente para que elas possam florescer. A parte religiosa da obra me tocou muito. Coelho repete esse mundo da "Deusa" em vários livros, acho que é uma das suas marcas, mas nunca é igual e nem cansativo. Sempre nos faz sentir abraçados por uma espiritualidade que tem mais a ver com quem somos.

So many great quotes within these pages. Different perspectives to think about in a story about love and heartache. Just great writing, as always, from him.
