Veronika decides to die

Today I discovered this book with a most interesting title.The book is called "Veronika decides to die" and quite frankly I was instantly mesmerized. So pure so honest and straightforward a title haven't I seen in quite a while. I really hope to read the entire book someday, but for now I think I'll have to settle with the first few pages I can find online (haven't really sought hard anyway).

The book begins with Veronika wanting to end her life. In fact it is mentioned as "at last". It's so odd. She seems so content with her choice. Even though I only read the first pages I am captivated.

So a little like Veronika I have a wish to die at my own wish some day, but it has to be the right time and the right way (if I have anything to say on that matter). I guess everybody toys with the thought at some point of their life, some even keep going back in the trail of thought and circle around the topic. I admire those who actually take matter into own hands and do something about what they want. I myself must admit that I am probably too scared to do anything yet, but I assure you I have my plans in mind :) I want to know the end of the story that's what's keeping me going!


Things said I do NOT urge people to kill themselves. Or maybe I do I really don't know. It would be better for the world you know? Less people to destroy what's left of the beautiful places and species. It's so unethical of me to say things like that. I know in public you can't say so since everybody would shoo at you. "Shame on you!"
Also I don't know why we try talking people out of committing suicide. Wasn't their point with the whole act not to get away from this world and the mess that was their lives? Let them die if they really want to. Why try to convince them otherwise?
