Adultery

A quick read. It was not the juicy, cheating story that I expected. Rather, a story of a woman lost in the everyday routine, and struggling to find herself and happiness. Although odd, and too methodical at times, a good book about long term relationships and love.

This novel was hard to like. The main character was annoying and it was hard to feel much sympathy towards her. I feel like the quality of Paulo Coelho's work is declining. Either he is not trying as hard or..something. Disappointing! I would give just 2.5 stars if I could.

Liked, but not my favorite Coelho-still remember the impact of Alchemist; maybe first love syndrome, but very different for this author. Some parts of all of those of us in the institution of marriage in the characters and has a settling and soothing end to the story!

I love Paulo Coehlos provocative books. I was looking forward to this new story and interesting topic. It wasn't as troublesome, irritating, thought provoking, life changing as the Zair or Veronica decides to die. I enjoyed it, no more.

Good enough read. The lessons that one may learn in life can be found in various avenues, one of which being what one reads. There were numerous ideas and concepts that could be applied to various life lessons. I enjoyed the parallels made throughout the novel. Kudos Coelho!

Many people found this book to be shallow...about a shallow woman who can't appreciate a great life and a great husband she has, but i found it to be profoundly deep as expected if you understand Coelho's writing at all.

As expected, the novel deals with moral conflicts arising within and around a character... It seems the character itself could become a writer considering the way it thinks, different from any person's, excluding an author of course !!
