I am disappointed by this book ... I read the Alchemist there are years that I loved, and I wanted to read another book by this author. But nothing to do. It seems that the story is annecdotique, it is only there to allow the author to speak on some great philosophical subjects. It is laborious. There all the time lengths, passages of "dreams" totally useless ... Some passages from "philosophical thoughts" are interesting, but we soon forget, it's as if they really were not used to history ... In short, something does not stick. I got bored. Anyway I finished the book because I wanted to know how would end this long journey across Russia (nice anyway, what scenery!) But I struggled. Moreover, the characters are not very friendly (a depressive author and a young girl annoying and sassy ...)
