Search for hidden talent  
By Amritesh, 12/07/2008 13:02:31

Paulo Coelho is my favorite author from the day I read his debut novel The Alchemist. I have read most of his novels. Recently read Brida an enthralling novel. He again wrote a beautiful story of love, quest, mystery, knowledge, spirituality and relationships. Brida is a young girl in search of her purpose of life. She learns magic and want to be a witch. By the end, she realizes that life is difficult, mysterious but yet beautiful. She gets over her fears and trusts the world. All of us has some talent but very few of us identify it. Excellent Story.
No words can appreciate his prose, diction and quotes, marvelous. There is an art to his writing that while reading we can visualize the whole story. It never feels that we are reading, it looks like we are watching. That’s the art that add uniqueness to his novels. I loved this novel. On the scale from one to ten on readability, it would surely get nine.
