Book Review: Zahir

This book by the author of The Alchemist sucked. The story is about a renowned author, presumably himself, whose wife leaves him for no apparent reason. He then comes in contact with a man who helps him find himself and then his wife. There was too much bullshit about the flow of the energy from love. The characters also all talked alike and seemed to have no personality of their own. One thing they all have in common though is that they clearly have issues. (Spoiler warning) Who leaves their husband and waits around for him to find her for years? Who becomes so obsessed with a woman who left him? I was getting really annoyed by the main character of the story by the time I started reaching the end of the book. I suppose he had nothing better to do than to chase his past.
