There is enough interest in angels to ensure this peculiar little book a significant audience. It traces a spiritual journey of sorts, stereotypically cast as a journey into the desert, that embodies a New Age conception of liberation as liberation from the past in confrontation with oneself. The "ritual that demolishes rituals," which is the climax of the book, is all done with mirrors. As Simone de Beauvoir would note, the "mirrors" are women--and that calls into question both the "newness" of the story and the "age" it heralds. But it is a strange tale many will find compelling.

I’m quite a realistic person sometimes, just like I have never believed in angels or related things. Perhaps I had believed in Buddha or Guangyin when I was at a very young age, but after once I have begged him(her?) so hard and sincerely for one thing whi...
評分從三年前偶遇《韋羅妮卡決定去死》算起,我已經讀過瞭保羅•科埃略的八本小說。不算多,但好歹也不算少。至今最喜歡、印象最深刻的兩本,分彆是《Eleven Minutes》和《The Witch of Portobello》。兩者的共同點大緻如下:人物綫索既不單薄(如《By the River Pierda I Sat D...

評分The book is about a man's battle with his fear and a woman's battle for love.
評分邂逅:2011年7月於香港書展; 旅程:2011.7.30.-2011.; 地點:香港、上海、雲南以及火車上; 不知是不是習慣瞭Costa阿姨的譯本,總覺得這個翻譯得有點平淡——還是因為故事本身就是非常spiritual/inward的自省?/又或者,最好的自省時間和空間永遠是一個人在路上?一如在昆明迴上海的車廂裏重讀這本書,竟在平淡中瞭悟瞭兩個從未關注到的道理。
評分WHY DO WE DESTROY THE THINGS WE LOVE MOST!? "Look at the horizon, Control your second mind." “God has the right to destroy me. I do not.” "There is no sin, but the lack of love." God is love, generosity, and forgiveness; if we believe in this, we will never allow our weaknesses to paralyze us. BELIEVE. 等讀完Bible再重讀,尤其是後1/3。
評分If you're in love with someone, you can have that person inside your head. The same thing happens with someon you want to forget about. But the second mind is a tough thing to deal with. It's at work regardless of whether you want it to be or not.
