From Booklist

There is enough interest in angels to ensure this peculiar little book a significant audience. It traces a spiritual journey of sorts, stereotypically cast as a journey into the desert, that embodies a New Age conception of liberation as liberation from the past in confrontation with oneself. The "ritual that demolishes rituals," which is the climax of the book, is all done with mirrors. As Simone de Beauvoir would note, the "mirrors" are women--and that calls into question both the "newness" of the story and the "age" it heralds. But it is a strange tale many will find compelling. Steve Schroeder


-- San Mateo Times

"Coelho's gripping tale of his adventures...reads like a suspense novel." --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.

2.0étoiles sur 5 A Confusing Voyage, Janv. 1 2004
Par Joy (United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
There are two reasons why I chose this book to read. Reason number one is because Paulo Coelho wrote it, and I became a fan of his work when I read "The Alchemist." The second reason is because I first heard of the Valkyries on a televison show. I had hoped to sit down to a reading of immense enjoyment. I was disappointed.

I believe in order to fully understand and enjoy "The Valkyries", you must be on a different level of spiritual enlightment and be open to strange expressions of faith and of hope and of love. Paulo writes of his experiences in the Mojave Desert searching for his angel through first a young man and then leather wearing, biker running women. Will you find love, faith, and hope with these types of elements? I have no idea. For each person, I suppose it is different.

For me this novel left unexplainable ideals. I wanted more of a description of the channeling, the rituals. What were they feeling? Describe what the second mind is in more detail. Is it the conscious, is it deeper, did I miss the description all together? I didn't find it fullfilling, and I was extremely disappointed.

I will add this, the "The Valkyries" is a true story according to Paulo Coelho. He admits to adding two fictional details in his accounts, but overall it is a true story. If you like to read about soul searching journies, this will do it.

Joy.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Truth is definitely stranger than fiction..., Fév 6 2009
Par Why Not (Toronto, ON, Can) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Valkyries (Paperback)
While I found this to be a page-turner right from the start, I probably would have stopped reading this book if it wasn't for the fact that Paulo Coelho claims it to be non-fiction (except in 2 particular instances, neither of which are revealed or even hinted at to the reader). The Valkyries is an account of the journey taken by Coelho and his wife through the Mojave dessert in search of his guardian angel. Truth is definitely stranger than fiction, and certain bits of this book were so odd that it was the supposed truth behind them that kept me fascinated! The book is strewn with spiritually uplifting concepts, and Coelho's writing is beautiful in its simplicity, as usual! He pulls off a wonderful, inspiring and uplifting adventure!

3.0étoiles sur 5 Hokey Tale or Spirutual Guide, Janv. 6 2004
Par Sarah Cosentino (Seattle, Washington United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Valkyries (Paperback)
This is the first Coelho novel I've read. I had been meaning to pick up the Alchemist, but during a flight from Toronto to Seattle a friend on the plane loaned me this book. It is an easy read (I was done the book before we landed), but I think I may have gotten more out of it if I hadn't sped through it so quickly. The book is a mystical and spiritual journey of a man who heads into the Mojave desert with his wife in search of an answer - how does one talk to and see their gaurdian angel. Sounds weird - right? Well I thought so too. I kept changing my mind as to whether I thought this whole book was a bunch of gobley-gook to thinking that perhaps this could be real. I remember having the same mixed feelings while reading the Celestine Prophecy. But, I wasn't quite hooked by this book - after finishing the book, I can't say that it has had any sort of lasting effect on me that I've been told it has had on others. I'd like to think I read it with an open mind (which is definitely required) but, as I said before, perhaps I just sped through it too quickly not giving enough thought to some of the ideas being presented before me. So...do I think this is a Hokey Tale or a Spirtual Guide?....I think I'll need to read this book again to decide. All in all - this book is worth the read - read it and decide for yourself.
