Although I don't like this literary genre very much, some books by Paulo Coelho have caught my attention, such as "Eleven Minutes" and "The Devil and Miss Prym", I have also read many that ended up not understanding, and although I bought several I still haven't read most of it. Many people who read these books use them as if they were manuals and from my point of view most of the ones I have read I see them more as fantasy books than anything else, since he seems to have some beliefs that I do not share since it focuses on lack of religion and idealism.

Aunque este género literario no me gusta mucho, me han llamado la atención algunos libros de Paulo Coelho, como "Once Minutos" y "El demonio y la Srita Prym", también he leído muchos que al final terminaba sin entender, y aunque compré varios la mayoría todavía sigo sin leerla. Mucha gente que lee estos libros los utilizan cómo si fuesen manuales y desde mi punto de vista la mayoría de los que he leído yo los veo más como libros de fantasía que otra cosa, ya que el parece tener algunas creencias que yo no comparto ya que se enfoca en la falta de religión y en el idealismo.

I started reading it because years ago I was given a copy of "Eleven Minutes" whose story I admit caught me and that's why it made me curious to read other of his works, books like "The Fifth Mountain" and "By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept" are good and easy to read, but I didn't like others like "Brida", "Veronika Decides to Die" at all, they seem predictable and boring, in fact I gave Brida's one a long time ago and the I didn't even finish reading Veronika's and left it at less than half, I would say that of all the ones I have, I've only read 4 in their entirety which have seemed good to pass the time.

Empecé a leerlo ya que hace años me regalaron un ejemplar de "Once Minutos" cuya historia admito que me atrapó y por eso me dió curiosidad por leer otras de sus obras, libros como "La Quinta Montaña" y "A las Orillas del Río Piedra Dónde me Senté y Lloré" son buenos y de fácil lectura pero otros por ejemplo cómo "Brida", "Veronika Decide Morir" no me gustaron en lo absoluto, me parecen predecibles y aburridos, de hecho el de Brida lo regalé hace tiempo y el de Veronika ni lo terminé de leer y lo dejé a menos de la mitas, diría que de todos los que tengo, sólo he leido 4 en su totalidad los cuales me han parecido buenos para pasar el tiempo.

I think that Paulo Coelho is not a great literary genius, but maybe he is good at what he writes, since his writing is very similar to today's world so people may find it interesting, so thanks to this It is easy for him to attract the public and sell books, although if you like the self-help genre, do not stay only with this author, the world of literature is so wide that there are also many other renowned authors with whom you can also enjoy.

Yo pienso que Paulo Coelho no es un gran genio literario, pero puede que si sea bueno en lo que escribe, ya que su escritura se asemeja mucho al mundo actual por lo que a la gente le puede resultar interesante, por lo que gracias a esto se le hace fácil atraer público y vender libros, aunque si te gusta el género de autoayuda no te quedes sólo con este autor, el mundo de la literatura es tan amplio que también hay muchos otroa autores de renombre con los que también puedes disfrutar.

From Paulo Coelho I have bought all these books, of which as I said before I have only read the complete 4 books, "The Devil and Miss Prym", "The Fifth Mountain", "On the Banks of the Piedra River Where I Sat and Wept" and "Eleven Minutes" of which, although they seemed good to me, the ones I really liked are "Eleven Minutes" and "The Devil and Miss Prym" since despite being simple and easy to read books, they are engaging and entertaining.

De Paulo Coelho he comprado todos estos libros, de los cuales como dije anteriormente sólo he leído completos 4 libros, "El Demonio y la Srita Prym", "La Quinta Montaña", "A las Orillas del Río Piedra Dónde me Senté y Lloré" y "Once Minutos" de los cuales aunque me parecieron buenos los que realmente me gustaron son "Once Minutos" y "El Demonio y la Srita Prym" ya que a pesar de ser libros sencillos y fáciles de leer, enganchan y son entretenidos.

Well, if you haven't read any of his books yet, dare, so you will have your own opinion and criteria regarding the author, since his books may either be the best you've found, or the worst you've read, otherwise they bring tears to your eyes or make you feel like you've wasted your time reading them. If you have already read them before, let me know your opinion.

Bueno, si todavía no han leído algún libro de él, atrevánse, así tendrán su propia opinión y criterio respecto a el autor, ya que sus libros o pueden ser lo mejor que te hayas encontrado, o lo mejor que hayas leído ya que si no te sacan lágrimas hacen que sientas que hayas perdido el tiempo en leerlos. Si ya los han leído antes, dejénme saber su opinión.

La verdad es que pese a la popularidad del autor y sus libros nunca he sentido esas ganas de leer alguno, supongo que no es mi lectura preferida, pero sí puedo llegar a entender por qué gusta tanto porque su sencillez pero calidad resultan atrayentes para cualquier que quiera una lectura entretenida que no le vaya a romper la mente intentando de comprender en su totalidad, aunque me han comentado que se toca en muchos temas profundos.
The truth is that despite the popularity of the author and his books I have never felt the desire to read any of them, I guess it is not my favorite reading, but I can understand why he likes so much because its simplicity but quality are appealing to anyone who wants an entertaining read that will not break your mind trying to understand in its entirety, although I have been told that it touches on many deep issues.
Muchas gracias por la recomendación.
Thank you very much for the recommendation.
