I was a little disappointed by this self-indulgent, introspective philosophical monograph. The details of the Kazakhstan Steppe were interesting. And I enjoyed the depth into the values and culture of the characters. The book it is very-well written. Coelho is a fantastic writer. But the petulant, egotistical, self-aggrandizing characters' melodramatic first-world problems seemed silly. And the bizarre, mystical superstitions of the Kazakhs are just plain dumb. 2/5 stars.
I am considering writing a separate, German blog since I started reading a lot of German books; however I think most people who might look at this blog are not German speakers.
