4.0 out of 5 stars A nice introduction to a great writer, July 15, 2008
By Jackie Blem (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Brida: A Novel (Hardcover)
I've never read anything by Paulo Coelho before, so I was rather surprised by the pagan spirituality of this little novel. It's the story of Brida, an Irish girl in training to become a witch. It is full of beautifully worded prose--I found myself making little tics and stars beside many paragraphs to go back and examine again (my apologies to those who get the ARC from me, lol). There is some seriously high minded spirituality folded into this simple book about a woman's quest to learn to use her powers and her heart. I was especially intrigued with the Catholic Christianity woven within the more traditional magical teachings and philosophies. This is, apparently, one of Coelho's earlier works that has finally been translatted from the original Portuguese. I found it a good way to whet my appetite for his other works before I come to a decision of what it is I think of him as a writer.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Simple, November 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Brida (Paperback)
The fact that it presents something so complicated as love with such a simple explanation as wizardry, makes a person who is not able to read between the lines,think of it as a uninteresting book. I loved the way the book calls to the feelings of each one of the readers to be for or against the beliefs of the character... Read it if you can!

5.0 out of 5 stars Twin souls..., February 4, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Brida (Paperback)
I firmly believe that everyone has another part, some people fortunately find it but others have to wait a lot or they never got it.
Coelho describes these in a beautiful way, but, this book is not for everyone, only for those who believe that it's necessary to find the other half to be completely happy...
