If anyone has read this, I’d love to discuss it and pick your brain. I picked up this book because after reading “The Alchemist” I was not as enamored as everyone else seems to be. I thought I’d give Coelho another try but I’m finding the same struggle— I agree with what I think he’s trying to say, but I find the presentation problematic. I’ll add more explanation in the comments.

I don’t know y’all— any Coelho fans want to jump in? Give an alternate perspective? I’m open!
In the case of this book I’m finding a similar struggle— the emphasis on the power of love is beautiful, but some of the ways Elijah approaches his mission do not indicate love to me. I might only feel that way because I am not overly familiar with the Bible/Torah, or because I tend to have similar conflicted feelings about religious texts in general.
