Story
In The Archer we meet Tetsuya, a man once famous for his prodigious gift with a bow and arrow but who has since retired from public life, and the boy who comes searching for him. The boy has many questions, and in answering them Tetsuya illustrates the way of the bow and the tenets of a meaningful life. Paulo Coelho's story suggests that living without a connection between action and soul cannot fulfill, that a life constricted by fear of rejection or failure is not a life worth living.

A chance meeting in Rio takes Maria to Geneva, where she dreams of finding fame and fortune, yet ends up working the streets as a prostitute. In Geneva, Maria drifts further and further away from love while at the same time developing a fascination with sex. Eventually, Maria's despairing view of love is put to the test when she meets a handsome young painter. In this odyssey of self-discovery, Maria has to choose between pursuing a path of darkness or risking everything to find her own 'inner light'.

Publisher's Summary
Inspired by events in Coelho's own life, Veronika Decides to Die questions the meaning of madness and celebrates individuals who do not fit into patterns society considers normal. Bold and illuminating, it is a dazzling portrait of a young woman at the crossroads of despair and liberation, and a poetic, exuberant appreciation of each day as a renewed opportunity.

Transformative
I love this author. He is masterful in his craft and always delivers life changing wisdom. Each time I read/listen to one of his novels I find a new favorite.
This was a difficult book to listen to because the subject matter is so real and the message is so true.
If you have ever experienced mental health trouble I recommend reading this book as it will help to make sense of what you are struggling with.

Didn’t like it one bit!
“The alchemist” being his previous work, I expected more from this book. Didn’t get anything out of this except feeling bamboozled that I spent my money on this.

A must read for your 20’s
Thank you Paulo for this book. So befitting for this point in my life. My take away is that just isn’t enough mad people in the world. We see the world through a very narrow hole and as such miss the vastness of life. We often get tired of mundane day to day ways of living that have nothing to do with who we are, all because it has been so and so it should be. But really is that it? If we do all that there is, just to be “so called” normal and fit
society, have we really existed beyond a physical form, or merely past time catering to the physical.
And in that is the true illness, the inability to use all we have been given to exist. Seems we are all mad after all. Simply brilliant.

Different
Well, that certainly was original take on ideas of love, death, sanity and finding meaningful purpose in life.
It started off intriguing, became quite thought-provoking, veered into bizarre, detoured into WTF!, then back to interesting again.
I liked it.

Can't stand this narrator
What did you like best about Veronika Decides to Die? What did you like least?
So far, I don't think this is the best Coelho I've read yet. The text gets repetitive and jumps from one point to another. Frankly though, this animosity is largely because of the narrator of this book. I should've stuck with reading it instead of listening. What a disservice to Paulo Coelho. I like the existential questions though and am curious to see how it unfolds.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Fran Tunno?
This narrator sounds like a robot. You know those corporate videos that you have to watch at orientation before you start a new job? That's how the narration and the dialogue sound like here, it has that sing-song lilt that's supposed to keep new hires from falling asleep on their first day. It doesn't work here. Not with Paulo Coelho! Goodness. I am returning this audiobook and just reading the text from the book. I think American female narrators in general need to listen to English narrators, they seem to know what they're doing. I would rather listen to Juliet Stevenson or Susanah Harker.

Very hard to get through
I usually love Paulo's books (The Alchemist is my all time favorite!), but this was hard to get through.

Who is crazy?
This book explores sanity as a construct and as a choice. The characters were a little distant to me. The narrator was pleasant, but not really engaging. Good but not great imho.

Interesting social commentary on finding meaning in the seemingly mundane. The ideas don't seem extremely profound, but they definitely resonate with me and I'm glad to have heard it.
I enjoyed the narration. She acted out the characters and flowed in and out of the dialogue well.

Delightful
This was a lovely little book. I throughly enjoyed it. It was quirky and charming. In the vain of the 2006 film Wristcutters: A Love Story. the subject maybe dark but its not with out heart and light. I highly recommend this title for a listen
