1.0 out of 5 stars TERRIBLE book by an AMAZING author, Jan 24 2007
This review is from: By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept: A Novel Of Forgiveness (Paperback)
Wow was I sorely disappointed in this book. Previous to this book I had read "The Alchemist", and "Veronika Decides to Die" which were both extremely well written books. In fact "The Alchemist" is now a top my favorites list. This book was an excruciating read, and had nothing interesting to say whatsoever. I had to rush through it because I cannot leave a book, however bad unread, but I definitely regret purchasing and reading this book. If are you are going through Coelho's booklist do not leave this book `til last as it will leave a sour taste in your mouth. Do not let this sway you from Coelho's other books. I simply do not understand how someone could like this book.

Daniel Lozada-Montebello Adult School,Montebello Ca.
Love is a need of every human,we were created to love and to be loved as a human we have a strong desire to be love,we have the necesity of being loved in a special way, this story is about a young couple that found each other once again after a long separation, their encounter brought some feelings that they had when they were younger, during that separation they try to find the real love, they know that they had something in common but they didn't know what was that but it was something powerful and special that it had to be discovered in specific time and specific circumstances, the separation helped them to understand that there is just one specific person for each one of us. They learned that the real love can't be substitude by any other feeling or material things and they learned the real love is not something that comes so easy, they have to fight and persevere in order to find it. They made many mistakes but and the end of the story they knew that the real love have to be cultivated.
