Critical Praise

" A touching fable about learning to live in the face of death. "

——Kirkus Reviews

Not Prozac! " Coelho does not so much address his readers as confide in them. His style is a kind of eavesdropping, full of lyrical whisperings and confessional asides. "

——Sunday Express (UK)

" With Veronika Decides to Die Coelho's legend keeps growing. "

——La Presna (Argentina)

"In this deceptively unadorned tale, narrated in a charmingly ironic style, Paul Coelho plumbs the profoundest depths of mores, madness and meaning. Thanks to Coelho's literary mastery and philosophical acuity, this engaging novel attains greatness via simplicity--a marvelous achievement! "

——Lou Marinoff, author of Plato,
