VERONICA DECIDES TO DIE

Book Review by: anoopsmitha    

Original Author: POULO COELHO
VERONICA DECIDSES TO DIE: THE STORY OF SAILING QUESTIONS AND PROVOKING THOUGHTS.  
The way story being told
and written are so different and new. There will be a glow in all Coelho novels. It is no different.   Because of boredom and emptiness Veronica decides to commit suicide. Veronica suffers from malice and decides that she would be better of dead.  But she awakened in to life and shock, in Villate, a well known mental hospital. After she wakes up from her overdose, she finds herself in an old fashioned literary ‘asylum’ where the treatments are unorthodox.   From there she came to know that she herself damaged her heart and will surely die within a span of one week. She also came to know that life is a beautiful affair to hang with. From that frame of novel unfolds its hidden treasures.   Now she knows what the death is. She becomes a fan of life. Story proves that without enjoying the current moment we can’t fulfill our life. Make the most out of your fleeting time. Our life is not an expectation of others. Try to do what you have always dreamed of doing.   During this week veronica gets to know the other patients at Villate. Dr.Igor to Zedka and Edward to Mary. As usual each has something to share about the pain the pain infact joypain of life and its emotions.   It made me think about life, happier love, despair and much more. It is a very provocative work.   Now there is only few days left for Veronica….. At that point she starts to love every moment of life. It arise a question that ‘what you did for all the years?’. This question mark will sail to the reader I am sure.
