Veronica Decides to Die


Acute to believe, but it is done. Just finished Veronica Decides to Die in short span of four n half hours,but a bit disappointed because in the end veronica doesn't die. Thanks to table lamp, a liter of water, numb vicinity and chair (not comfortable) for being the part of cozy reading journey.
The manuscript is really gripping one, well dressed with words or probably quotes. This book deals with innovative ways of living life, when death seems luminous. Paulo Coelho was focused on veronica freedom from constriction and her voyage of self discovery in eccentric method of Dr.Ileus .Most overwhelming part of the novel is the story that zedka had narrated for veronica which will be summarized as:
A wizard put mad portion in a town well; whose water was drank by entire city except king. After consuming water, entire city turned mad and time when king tried to allocate them. They cited back king as insane as he was only sane among all insane .Then queen suggested king to drink the same well water, so that he can think in the same way other mad men thought. Her idea works and everything was sort out as it was before. lol

Quote of the book: Every great man was once a mad and i am one in the making.
