Original title : Veronika decide morrer.I would rather listen to Juliet Stevenson or Susanah Harker. I think American female narrators in general need to listen to English narrators, they seem to know what they're doing. I am returning this audiobook and just reading the text from the book. You know those corporate videos that you have to watch at orientation before you start a new job? That's how the narration and the dialogue sound like here, it has that sing-song lilt that's supposed to keep new hires from falling asleep on their first day. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Fran Tunno? I like the existential questions though and am curious to see how it unfolds.

I should've stuck with reading it instead of listening. Frankly though, this animosity is largely because of the narrator of this book.

The text gets repetitive and jumps from one point to another. So far, I don't think this is the best Coelho I've read yet. What did you like best about Veronika Decides to Die? What did you like least?
