Veronika Decides to Die is one of my favorite books. This novel by Paulo Coelho is about a woman who seems like she has the world, but decides to takes her own life. The story follows her fall into madness and the beauty she discovers in it.
The book has now been turned into a film. Based on IMBD, it is scheduled to come out in March 2009. The film version of Veronika Decides to Die stars Sarah Michelle Gellar as Veronika. The movie also features Jonathan Tucker, David Thewlis, Melissa Leo and Erika Christensen. Take a peek at the trailer. It looks very promising!

December 19, 2008 at 5:36 pm (15 years ago)Oooh, thanks for sharing. I’m not a fan of Paul Coelho, although a lot of people are. I tried to read the Alchemist and all I can feel was that it wasn’t written well and it bored me. This book sounds really interesting, but I’m worried his writing style might put me off again.

December 23, 2008 at 4:43 am (15 years ago)Of all the Coelho works I’ve read, Veronika Decides to Die is the one book I’ve given a second reading.
That said, I’m looking forward to this one.
Watching the trailer, though, I’m seeing Buffy – not Sarah Michelle – playing the part of Veronika. I hope that changes when I’m inside the movie house.
