This book of Paulo Coelho is one of the most highly over-rated books in recent times. It talks about magic in the form of black magic, wizardry and witchcraft, which is highly unthinkable. The book also digresses from magic to past life relationships and the connection between the two is not very distinct. The scientific explanation for the past life relationships do make interesting reading but when it comes to magic, it loses its charm. All in all, easily missable book.
