Notice Regarding Books The Witch of Portobello

I always wished that Paulo Coehlo was my uncle so that I could call him Papa Coelho and sit at his knee while he smoked his pipe. I think that he would be delightfully eccentric, and given to saying things like Suffering, if confronted without fear, is the great passport to freedom. So, true, Papa Coelho. So true. If he was my uncle, though, I might not tell him that I thought The Alchemist was tripe, and that most of his books carry too much philosophizing and not enough narrative. But in The

The Witch of Portobello Honestly speaking I dont have a clue where to begin. While writing reviews of other books I already decide, while reading, what to write in review but this book is a SPECIAL case. Its full of UNEXPECTEDNESS. Just remarkably UNPREDICTABLE. Full of spiritual, mystical context. One of the best non-fiction book Ive ever read in my life yet. Well, its a biography book but its not exactly a biography book as the writer himself hasnt uttered a single word of his opinion,

This book was a little "much." I was first introduced to Paulo Coelho with his acclaimed novel The Alchemist. I loved The Alchemist. It's clear the author is a "spiritualist" and takes pleasure in teaching lessons through simplicity and beauty. I found the Alchemist inspiring and well-written. The Witch of Portobello I found cultish and flowery. There was nothing natural about it - rather - almost something "forced" in trying to convey the story of a young woman finding her "center" through "the

when you read to Paulo Coelho you feel happiness, this is what one newspaper wrote on Coelho books. Every time I read one of his book i feel that and I learn some thing new.Mainly I learned from "the Witch of Portobello" how to feel gabs, how to make sens to your life by seeking for aim behind it. The life will be harsh on us but like forging, the iron should be exposed to fire, hammer and cold water in order to get its final shape and play its role in life.

Trapped for hours in an airport with nothing to read, my wife was further victimized by this remarkably bad book, one of five books available for sale in Portland International Airport at 2am. You can turn to any page and find a really hackneyed phrase. Kahil Gibrain's psuedo-religious drivel was at least poetic and brief by comparison. The story is supposed to be the voices of different people, but the Catholic priest, the Lebanese mother, the 65-year old restaurant owner, are all utterly

It says a lot about how great of a storyteller Coelho is that this book is no where near as good as The Alchemist and not even as good as Veronika Decides to Die and yet it was still entertaining, a quick read, and most importantly for Coelho's readers, enlightening on how people work and the lessons we can learn from life.

Coelho probably believes that every human being has a divine essence that's the same for everyone, because every single one of his POV characters has the same preachy voice explaining the same shitty philosophy in the same pompous manner. In other words, the book is like a realistic landscape painted all in the same shade of red: red sky, red trees, red grass, red rivers, all the same red. Just as that is no longer a "landscape", but a red canvas, "The Witch of Portobello" does not have many
