bunburyist 's review for:

The Witch of Portobello by Paulo Coelho
3.0

It was interesting to shape a character from so many different impressions of her. The story is told from the points of view of those that interacted with her, but we never get in her head. Ever. Which was perfect, because none of the other characters seemed to fully understand her either. It leaves you with a knowingly incomplete impression of her and I liked that part of it. The story itself is a bit disjointed and I kept putting it down and finding myself ill motivated to pick it back up.
