This book was an interesting kind of parable. it has plenty of moments that will stick with me for a while. i enjoyed how the author captures different point of view and didn’t let the story get so big that it couldn’t maneuver itself. the theme was really captivating.

An adventurous story of a boy searching to complete his personal legend. At times I grew bored as a reader, as most of the characters were flat, as you don’t learn much about the mc, or interact with any others until later in the book.

This is like Candide but not fun? This feels like it would be an inspirational book for white men because society has been built to benefit them, so it's not a stretch that the "universe" is rooting for them to succeed. Also, no thanks to the religious parts.

I liked the messages Coelho tried to convey, but overall the story wasn't really interesting to me. I only had two or three instances where I was interested in the story and actually reflecting on what was written. Also why the racial slurs? They could've been left out...
