Sólo recuerdo que estaba muy confundida todo el tiempo. Y le pregunté a mi madre que le había parecido y ella me dijo que se sintió muy confundida. Bueno, ciertas cosas no son para todos.

At times this book felt tedious - I think the translation bugged me - but I kept turning the pages and appreciated it for the philosophical allegory it was

If you're expecting another The Alchemist, just stop right there, turn around, and never look back. Seriously. Trust me and do yourself a favor.
After the success of The Alchemist, I feel like Coelho just threw a bunch of ideas together and called it a new story. Sure, it has the themes of faith, love, and following your dreams, but in my opinion, the story just wasn't concrete enough to really... I don't know, actually teach you anything - if that's what Coelho sought to do. The events just felt disconnected.
It took me a few months to finish this book because I kept getting bored of it. I finally finished it for the sake of finishing it.
The author tried to throw in a few themes from The Alchemist, and there are maybe a few good ideas in here, but nothing good enough to waste your time reading an entire book to glean some tidbits.
Note: A lot of reviewers on Amazon said they didn't like the fact that the book delved so much into religion, but I didn't mind that.

Writing your own love story to let it go by a riverside. Sounds like a plan.
