I did go through a period where I read all of Coelho's books. He's a good storyteller. I think the problem I have with him isn't necessarily his work although perhaps he's a bit to blame.His books tend to be a little over simplistic. But they are kind of like cautionary tales. It's all the baggage that comes along with being a Coelho reader. Usually they are the New Age, Self Help, Healing crowd. Though I hate when people file me in a certain folder when I tell them I read fantasy I guess I am doing a bit of the same...oops

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
