Veronika Decides to Die

Posted by Emily Hotchkiss (1 year ago ) It's good, but I'd just read The Alchemist so it felt like a comedown from that dreamlike state.
Posted by androidea (1 year ago ) I like the easy pacing and rhythm of the book, but the message was so didactic that I can't imagine being affected unless someone read it during a bout of blinding depression.
Posted by mdixoncm@drupal.org (1 year ago ) I have just remembered, i swapped this book for the alchemist with a stranger on the tube years ago :)
Posted by tcook@abctales.com (1 year ago ) I hardly think it's lovely. It's challenging and slightly obtuse - but well worth the read and very well written.
Posted by mdixoncm@drupal.org (1 year ago ) I still think it is lovely, the subject matter is quite hard - but the almost childlike sing song way in which it is written makes it, well just lovely!
In my opinion, this is his best book.
Posted by mdixoncm@drupal.org (1 year ago ) This was my first experience of PC, just a lovely book very simply told with heart warming story ... lovely
