Veronika, at 24 years old, has a perfectly nice life, yet something is lacking. Inside her is a void. So, Veronika decides to die. She takes a handful of sleeping pills expecting never to wake up. Coelho deals with many topics in this book - suicide, Adam & Eve, sex, love.
Some couldn't relate to the character choosing to commit suicide out of boredom. Felt like there were too many characters. The author was incredible that he could make you challenge your beliefs to see other perspectives. To be able to say what you think and not worry about what others think. It was outside the boundaries. It really challenged your perspective. All agreed that this book is not for everyone
Club Rating: 3.5
