I didn't know it was part of a trilogy.

Good idea to save your vote Debbie. I should've done the same but I just can't resist voting & watching the poll change. We should take it in turns each month

Here's my Veronkia op on RISI http://readitswapit.myfreeforum.o...t5094.html&highlight=veronika

I've still not read Piedra yet but none of the characters have been related in the other two books or set in the same places.

The last Paulo Coelho book I read was really raunchy (and that's an understatement!). Can't remember what it was called. Tell a lie, I do know, it was Eleven Minutes. Have to say a lot of it went over my head. Has anyone read it?

I am intrigued by Veronika Decides to Die, so if it wins will be more than happy to read it.

Hi Ruth, even if it doesn't get voted will be looking to read it asap. Will message you when I've read it to swap reviews if you like x


Hi Mazzystar - sorry; I've only just seen your post otherwise I would have responded earlier! Yes, I would love to hear what you think of it. It was a book that stayed with me for a long time after I read it, if you know what I mean.

Got it on TBR! Need to read one of the mobile library books next but might read a Coelho one after that!

Wasn't going to bother trying to get Veronika as I already had Keeping Faith but I just went for a browse in my local charity shop and it was there for £1.50 so I just had to get it. Sounds like a really good read and is really thin.

There were loads of his books, someone must have turfed a load out so may be tempted to go back and complete the trilogy!
