This is my first encounter with Paulo Coelho. I find his writing to be slightly poetic and personal. While there are parts of this book that I feel didn't have to be in it, on a whole it's an interesting story about the paradoxs of life (if one didn't feel hate could one feel love, and so forth). I also found the end to be predictable. Still it's a good story.

'Veronika Decides to Die' is a strange book in that it's intention isn't really to tell a story, but to tell you a philosophy. Yes there are characters and even mild plot points but ultimately the author is more interested in you understanding the meaning behind the characters and his belief of the freedom contained in 'madness'.

It's an interesting book, but I did find myself wanting it to be more plot driven. The writing however, is beautiful, probably some of the best prose I've ever read, often feeling like a poem or the retelling of some dream. Everything flows. Yet at the same time, I'm not sure I can really recommend it to anyone as it is not a traditional story, and certainly wasn't what I was expecting. It is a short read however, and it does make you think (no matter how preachy the author is about the way he thinks his readers should see the world).
