Excellent start but disappointment more ...

The beginning is very addictive but comes a time when we advance more too. The author uses Hilal to visit his past, their common past, for answers. I think his wife is too present in this novel which is however not its history. The author gives pride by admitting to the world its fidelity physical (but not mental).

I thought the story would be "comprehensive", the area studied, the aleph, is perhaps more universal.

However, Paulo Coelho is an author I like reading usual. I often like the stories he tells. But Aleph leaves me with mixed feelings and disappointment.

Finally, although very interesting and easy to read, this novel concerning pleases me halfway.
