Review of "Hippie" by Paulo Coelho

Hippie by Paulo Coelho
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Took me almost 6 months to finish reading this book as I have been reading other books in between. It started off slow, and did not pick up a considerable amount of pace until reaching the second half of the book.

However, things got really interesting at that point, and I loved reading about Paulo's autobiographical account of travelling through Amsterdam, Istanbul and some other European cities.

Hippie is unlike any other Coelho book. Here, there is less preaching and or life advice--which can be good or bad, depending on the reader's expectations. I liked the change in narrative, and honestly speaking, the last few books I read were a bit repetitive.

Would have given an additional star if the introductory chapters were cut a bit short.
