“WOW! The Olympics definitely slowed me down much more than I was anticipating but I have finally made it through this book. I think it was very comparable to other Coelho books I have read (The Alchemist, The Zahir) in that I find them a little redundant and slow reading but when they are done I am glad that I read them. This book was a little confusing to me because it is told in the manner of interviews so, each person tells their part of the story in the first-person but that person changes throughout the book. I hope that makes sense but basically I had to continuously remind myself who "I" was. Other than being a bit confusing (which was probably not helped by the fact that I read the entire book in 3-4 page segments during Olympic commercial breaks) it was a really interesting way of writing the story and I ended up liking it: you got one story from many different people who each provided a different POV. It would have been interesting though for even one "story" to be told from The Witch's POV.
Overall, a good read about connecting with nature and those around you to fulfill your life goals and destinies.”
