Summary: Herein lies the meaning of life
Comment: Paulo Coelho's new novel is beautful - both in the writing and the story being told. I first read Coelho's Alchemist and was blown away by the simplicity of his writing style and the beauty that he elicited through the weaving his tale. His novels always leave a wonderful glow behind and Veronika Decides To Die is no different.
Veronica suffers from malaise and decides that she would be better off dead. Veronika commits suicide and is shocked to awaken in Villete, a well known mental hospital, only to be told that while she was not successful in dying she has committed herself to death as her attempt at suicide has damaged her heart and she now has a few days left to live.
During this week, Veronika gets to know the other patients at Villete, from the Dr. Igor to Zedka, Mari, Eduard and the Fraternity. Each person has something to share with Veronkia - who in time comes to learn the joy pain of life and all of the emotions in between.
Readers will enjoy this trip of self discovery as it speaks to all of us. I certainly left this book with more than I went into it with. It really moved me and has made me think - about life, love, happiness, despair and so much more. I look forward to more beautfully provocative and thought provoking work from Paulo Coelho.

Summary: A beautiful book with the power to alter the readers life
Comment: This is the most amamzing book I have ever read and I strongly recomend everyone to read it.
The story is about a young girl called Veronika who has lost the love of life and feels there is nothing to keep her in this world so she decides to take her own life by taking an overdose of sleeping pills only to wake up in Villete the local mental hospital. Although she is told she has an irreversible heart problem and will die within about five days.
This story follows the next seven days of her life while she meets some amazing people and Paulo Coehlo links their stories in with Veornika's to make a stunning and moving story which can alter the readers life. With an amazingly powerful ending that will stay with you forever.
If you only read one book this year you must make it Veronika Decides To Die
Rating: 5
Summary: a great book
Comment: i have recently read this book and liked it alot.coelho's writing is poetic and inspiring ,and him using an easy language is an advantage;not a down point.Paulo is a very gifted writer and succeeds in creating a magical atmosphere which attracts you to the story.the plot is a very original one, inspite of being realistic.as the story proceeds, he goes deeper into the human character.
veronika is 24 years old ,beautiful& young ,with a very interesting character.she has a nice job and a loving family ,and never had any trouble finding boyfriends.yet she decides to end her life by taking an over dose of sleeping pills,her main reason for this is lack of point & meaning of her life.however when she wakes up she find her self in a mental hospital and finds out that her heart has been permanently damaged and that she only had few days to live.at first she is happy to know this,but after sometime,to her own surprise,she finds her self wishing to live longer,and finds out that the lack of meaning in her life is no body's fault but her own.
