I give this a four star rating because I think I needed to read the book at this point in my life.

Reading this book was like entering a magical land. The boy in the story wasn't so much of a boy, but Paulo talked and wrote about him and his journey in such a way that made him someone..young and fresh..looking out for the treasure who had been set out for him ; revealed twice in his dream, that it was fun to ride along with him and enjoyed the journey. Addictive. "A beginner's luck"

This book is the best for Paulo Coelho! Honestly i was disappointed by some of his other works but the Alchemist is diffidently another thing!

Don't hesitate to read the book or gift it to your...more
