Paulo Coelho-Veronika decides to die.

This one exceeded my expectations, after the epic Alchemist fail. Don’t get me wrong-decent is a far concept from it, for I cannot call it more than ‘readable’. The writing technique is poor, but the action makes up for it in some parts, and the message-again-isn’t pure stupidity.
Pros:- interesting concept
-slightly catchy action-enough not to fall asleep with the book in your hand.
-good overall message
Cons:-Poorly written
-unrealistic depictions of patients with mental illnesses.
-the author himself appears as a character, but his contribution to the plot is insignificant, so it is clear that he put himself there so he can name another writing technique used in his books.Oh, and he self-proclaims himself an artist. Modesty sure isn’t his strong point!
! Incorrect medical information!The book claims serotonin was ‘recently discovered’(the book was written in 1997).Serotonin was originally discovered by Italian and American scientists in the late 1940s.(it was named in 1948, so no excuse!)
2/5.
