Apparently, even if Paulo Coelho did write this book, I didn’t really like it so much. Save for Coelho’s writing skills and mastery of inserting spirituality into fiction and non-fiction (like this book) respectively. I never really liked the idea that this book has. Well, perhaps it could be explained that I believe in thorough Catholicism, and the book was bordering to some occultic stuff. But of course, minus the goth clothes and black candles, which is oh-so cliche. This is much more deeper and ideas were narrated in a mild way…

I think the most inspiring thing about the Witch of Portebello is that till this day and age even after our understanding of Christ and what he went through people are still afraid of those who show extraordinary individualism, understnading and charisma… regardless of whether she was or was not a witch… the fact that she was able to move people into being better versions of themseleves while retaining her sense of self… i also loved the book for a more personal reason becasue you wrote about Lebanon and a Lebanese family and so we are seen as human beings rather than a dot on the political or military map.
