  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; Twenty-four-year-old Veronika seems to have everything -- youth and beauty, boyfriends and a loving family, a fulfilling job. But something is missing in her life. So, one cold November morning, she takes a handful of sleeping pills expecting never to wake up. But she does -- at a mental hospital where she is told that she has only days to live. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Inspired by events in Coelho's own life, &lt;i&gt;Veronika Decides to Die&lt;/i&gt; questions the meaning of madness and celebrates individuals who do not fit into patterns society considers to be normal. Bold and illuminating, it is a dazzling portrait of a young woman at the crossroads of despair and liberation, and a poetic, exuberant appreciation of each day as a renewed opportunity. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

She can only see one path unfolding for herself, and it's one she can't stomach. I get that. But unlike Veronika I haven't given up hope that my pa...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52087246">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really liked this book. Most everyone can relate to this book in some shape or form.
