happykatie 's review for:

The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho
1.0

It's been a while since I've had to force myself to finish a book and this was one of those times.

Tried as I might to get into the story, the single person per chapter viewpoint format and key characters were like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

I really was hoping that I would be spellbound, but in the end I couldn't read fast enough so I could put the thing down already. This was my very first Paulo Coelho read, surely this isn't the norm?
