Veronika decides to die

I have just recently finished reading for the second time this novel from internationally acclaimed author Paulo Coelho (brazilian) and its never lost its appeal.

"a dramatic story of love, life and death that shows us all why every second of our existence is a choice we all make between living and dying.
Veronika has everything she could wish for. She is young and pretty, has plenty of boyfriends, a steady job, a loving family. Yet she is not happy; something is lacking in her life, and one morning she decides to die. She takes an overdose of sleeping pills, only to wake up some time later in the local hospital. There she is told that her heart is damaged and she has only a few days to live.
The story follows Veronika through these intense days as to her surprise she finds herself experiencing feelings she has never really felt before. Against all odds she finds herself falling in love and even wanting to live again"

After reading this book you just want to stop complaining and grab life with both hands and just go for it!!!!!
Thought provoking material indeed!!
This book is very educating to what we're surrounded by in every day life. I enjoyed the depth of this book. Really makes you think in a different light towards people in general and how sometimes one little mistake or doing something you regret can lead to unhappiness but then how to resolve that mistake to lead to happiness, its never to late to learn and put our pride aside, this book can change your life if you allow. Much os Coehlo's work has been based on his personal struggle to discover a religious path in an oppressive world, I really recommend you read this book...puts things in persepective!
