Title: not much story, flat characters
Product review: This book seemed like a sloppy drape for a sermon about mysticism. We spend the entirety of the book reading the impressions of the main character's acquaintences- yet these perspecitves are so alike that there is no transition in voice. It is a very crude way to move a story along that deals so heavily in character study; that all the ancillary characters be so painfully similar. It takes all the fun out of narrative in this perspecitve. The only coehlo- reminiscent writing comes in the form of short tutorials on spiritualism, and while the language is beautiful it reads like a primer and does not evoke the intended introspection. Boo.
