Veronika Decides to Die A Novel of Redemption Paulo Coelho Books

This is the second book I read by Paulo Coelho and it was even better than the first. Suicide - such a tough subject. Some feel that the person taking their life are selfish, some understand, some wish they knew that the person was that down so they could of been their to help and some just don't understand. All in all it is a sad and tough thing to go through when a family member or close friend decide to take their own life.
But when you survive suicide how does the one taking their life feel? Waking up and realizing you are alive. And if this was to happen but you were told your attempt still worked because the damage to your body is so severe you have a week to live? How does one feel then facing death knowing its inevitable? Death is inevitable but when it is to approach us we do not know. We all subconsciously think about our death - but on a daily level? The seriously ill think about death. But to actually wait for your death to come? What feelings and thoughts race through your mind. So how would you feel knowing you were going to die? Would you start to live again? It is a deep question one at the moment I am thankfully do not need to ponder (but at times will admit I do). This story was beautifully written and has awaken inside of me the joy of living. Living as life should be enjoyed in the moment not past or present and always believe in yourself.

Veronika Decides to Die A Novel of Redemption Paulo Coelho Books Reviews

In addition to providing a window to the world of the people labeled as mentally disturbed, this book also provides a window to the ways in which parents might cripple children's hopes for life, or how adult mentors in general can support the hopes and creativity of the young, or destroy them. Like other Coelho's stories, the narrative is deceivingly simple and the message has great depth. I felt like I could see glimpses of the characters' souls. And just like in other Coelho's books, I find pieces of myself in each of them, but also pieces of how I might have been sometime in the past. The book reminds me that we are never finished examining our assumptions, pre-conceptions and decisions.
For anyone that has contemplated suicide, or has attempted it, or been in a mental hospital, this book is NOT just for you. Mental health is always talked about as an important issue on this planet lately. But this book, it makes you look at the real underlying truth to these "mental health issues" in this world. And the one main point that you should take from this book is that there are more people on this planet that have been through and dealt with some traumatic or darkness in their lifetime, then there are those that have not - and for whatever reason there is that time is spent in a hospital, you are the norm of society, and you always have been, you just had the opportunity to handle your issues with a professional vs. others that live in silence and repeat their daily lives never to see the world as it is and never moving past their past and present and living and breathing in this world.
My favorite lines
. I came into this world in order to go through attempted suicide, ruining my heart, meeting you, coming up to this castle, letting you engrave my face on your soul. That is the only reason I came into the world, to make you go back to the path you strayed from... "

This book is very profound. I really enjoyed it. Wasn't overly serious. Had some laughing points. However, I thought I'd scream at the scene with Edward. OMG!!

I enjoyed this book! So much to think about. What I wouldn't give to be a part a discussion on this one.
Read this book as my 3rd Coehlo book, and saw life in the light of death, depicted in a way where there was more than just sadness and regret for the lack of feeling, but for the life that was still available to access. This book will take you to more places of discovery than of blankness or despair. The title may be misleading in what you might assume it is about, but you won't regret where it takes you.
Review Veronika Decides To Die by Paulo Coelho. 4 Stars 11/04/2018

It could have been a depressing read but Paulo Coelho made the story entertaining. The book weights highly on Paulo Coelho own personal experience when he was institutionalized. Coelho’s description of the motivation behind the story is when he was younger in Brazil around 1960’s the emphases to artist was synonymous with homosexual, communist, drug addict, and low-life is similar to the same as USA’s views of the artist who drank and smoked with simplistic behavior, sometimes occasionally functional, at times completely unstable with society and the subtlety of influences that they had to face.

The story is about a young Slovenian woman, Veronika, who attempts suicide a few times, fails, and is institutionalized. While in the confines of the facility Veronika is told that by overdosing on pills she had damaged her heart and only has five days to live. She now has to come to grips with what it means to be dying.

Coelho writes about the effects of Veronika’s death sentence diagnosis and how she interacts with other patients. The first patient she interacts with is Zedka who is a depressive person who offers Veronika advice and insight. Than there is Maria, who withdrew from her family, friends and society because she was having severe panic attacks. Plus there is Eduardo, a schizophrenic, who befriends Veronika who is unsure if she wants a friend. Veronika still wants to die but decides she doesn’t want to hide out at the facility like the others who are free to defy rules without judgment and the feeling of being safe and secure…She is still confused about what it means to die…!
