Geez, I don't even know what shelves to put this on. Other than "read".

It's a DNF for me - a rare occurrence. I almost always finish books.

This one just seemed so shmaltzy and contrived. I got about 1/2 way through, thought "good grief", turned to the end and read that and gave up.

Oh well, on to another book.

it was....hmm.
ariana grande would have loved this bc this is basically a book about god being a woman, which was the only thing i liked about this book. very preachy. i find that the synopsis of his books are always more interesting than its contents, more often than not :/

Simplesmente lindo! Mostra muito bem como o amor é capaz de mudar tudo, trazendo coisas que sempre existiram dentro de nós e que até então pareciam escondidas; e sobre entregar-se inteiramente para que elas possam florescer. A parte religiosa da obra me tocou muito. Coelho repete esse mundo da "Deusa" em vários livros, acho que é uma das suas marcas, mas nunca é igual e nem cansativo. Sempre nos faz sentir abraçados por uma espiritualidade que tem mais a ver com quem somos.

So many great quotes within these pages. Different perspectives to think about in a story about love and heartache. Just great writing, as always, from him.

DNF p. 121 I’m not into the religious exploration and the main character is annoying… why would I finish?

This was for a book club but I would have DNF’d it otherwise. The characters are extremely flat. The love story is not developed in a way you believe it. Overall best things in the books were the descriptions of the churches and chapels which were at least interesting.
