Review of Paulo Coelho's "The Manual of the Warrior of Light"

This book is brilliant!!! 

I got it as a gift many years ago, but every time I picked it up to read - it just wouldn't want to be read: the words were uninteresting and, soon, my mind would start wandering. I couldn't even get passed the first page. The last time I picked it up, however, - I was ready. And... it blew me away! 

What's interesting is that the same thing happened with Bulgakov's Master and Margarita, I couldn't pass the second chapter for years, until it finally became one of my favorite volumes.  

I am grateful to Paulo Coelho for putting together this amazing textbook for those who are reaching for the light and striving to BE the light. It it explanatory, supportive and very kind. 

The Manual is by far the best of the author's books. 

Rating: many more than 5 stars.

P.S. The translation to Russian is impeccable.
