Book review: Adultery, Paulo Coelho.

20819682

This is a story of a woman, who has a job of a journalist, a successful spouse and 2 kids living in a posh house. She attends numerous parties, and gets to interview many famous public figures, politicians etc. For everyone else, she “has it all”. But she still thinks something’s missing out from her life. What could it be? Can it be passion? Or her monotonous days are just boring her? Is the fear of taking risks and having things changed the cause of it? Is adventure missing from her life?
Linda knows she’s lucky, but every morning she wakes up, the fact that its all going to be the same and nothing new makes her less thankful for the blessings. She needs a change, but is equally scared of a change.

Linda finds herself lonely, bored, and her days monotonous, and so she throws herself in an adventure, a risk which could change it all, but NOT a good change. She finds out her other side, one which is more careless and wild, one which is completely different from her usual self. The good mother and a wife, a respectable journalist disappear when she’s on her adventure.Whatever happens next is unpredictable, and can be destructing.

The story might get slow and less exciting for some reader as the story is paced with the character’s struggle and personality, and you might as well find Linda disgusting, selfish and self-absorbed. People might stop reading it because it might seem slow and impossible. But never think of putting Paulo’s book down, you never know what he’s going to bring up next. He never fails to teach his readers.

Ideas for bookmarks

A good book is more fun to read when you’ve got an innovative bookmark in between! Here are some tips and ideas to make creative and easy bookmarks by yourself.

1. Keep in mind to use a hard material, a cardboard or a stiff chart paper would do. You can also use the dividers you find in your notebooks. Using a stiff material would keep your bookmark from bending and it wont be ruined.

2. Use different shapes and sizes. Simple narrow bookmarks will get boring, therefore cut out your piece in different random shapes.

“Beautiful disaster” and “Walking disaster” are two same stories, the only difference is the point of view.
