It was just. so. boring. It only earned two stars because one star is reserved for books I can't bring myself to finish. If I was reading this in English I may have stopped, but I was determined to finish it since I read a Spanish translation.

This book is magical, to say the least. I didn't know what to expect, having only read one other Coelho novel years ago. To find that it was about the feminine aspect of God surprised me a bit, and I honestly wasn't sure how I would feel about the story in the end. Now that I've finished it, I'm so inspired by the questions it raised; inspired to examine my own spirituality and to continue to ask the questions and seek the answers that I need to bring me closer to God. Yes, I'm a believer, but I feel that even non-believers will have the same questions I did after reading this story. Something along the lines of "Well, if this...then that?" or simply "What if?" The book really tells about a journey one woman has to find love and to rekindle her faith. I'm still wondering whether having found her faith and love through a man and not through God is a good or bad thing. So much is left to interpretation, and I've never read a book that made me want to actually go out and do something or learn more about myself and my own journey through life. It truly is a must read, and one that I don't think I'll ever forget.

kita tidak bisa memaksa orang lain cara bagaimana berdoa. penghayatan spiritual itu adalah praktik kasih, bukan formula hapalan doa atau kutipan ayat-ayat suci...

Wenn du eine ungewöhnliche Gabe mit einer zugehörigen Berufung hast - würdest du sie für deine große Liebe aufgeben? Ein kurzer Roman über 7 Tage im Leben eines Liebespaars, das sich aus der Jugend kennt und sich die Frage stellen muss, den bisher gefassten Lebensplänen nachzugehen oder gemeinsam weiter zu leben.
Viele denkanstoßende Weisheiten über Liebe, Spiritualität, Pflichten gegenüber seiner Talente.
