Title: Skip this Coelho book
Review: Coelho is one of my favorite writers; The Alchemist is one of my favorite books (ever). However, he really dropped the ball with The Devil and Miss Prym. I've read 11 Minutes (and judge it a 3.5 out of 5), By the River Piedra (4 of 5), The Pilgrimage (4), The Zahir (4.5), Veronika (4)--so you can tell that I love the man and (most of his books). But this one I'm not even going to finish; there are too many great books waiting to be read. I threw Fifth Mountain away after trying to get into it (if you're really, really Christian, or Jewish, maybe it will do something for you) and I'll return this one to the library having read only one-third of it.Unlike most other Coelho books, the story is overly contrived, but, more importantly, its characters are lifeless. The characters seem like apparitions of real characters, and this is a weakness almost unknown for Coelho.I'm not sure what he wanted to achieve with this book, but I hope his next one reads more like his previous novels.
