I
started reading this 312-page paperback last July... 2009! I know I am a
slow reader, but more so if the story is really not that interesting. I
bought Brida because one - it's a Paolo Coelho
book and I have loved many of his novels for years; and two - because
it's a book about being a witch and I've always wanted to be one as
evidenced by my love for the Wiccan ways which I share on my Wiccan Blog.
Unfortunately, for me, the pace of the story in the beginning was
really not that fantastic and I got bored to tears. It's only during my
morning rituals (after I do my daily tarot reading, meditation and spell)
that I try to read a few more pages just so I can finish this blasted
book. It was only when I was reaching the last few chapters that the
story became more exciting to the point that it was giving me goosebumps
and hair tingles. This meant that finally, I was one with the book and
it was as if I was Brida finally consummating my journey into my real
self, that of becoming a witch.
