The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

tanuja_likes_books's review against another edition

4.0

I listened to the audiobook-definitely recommend reading it that way. It’s a simple children’s story and it’s repetitive and boring sometimes but it’s soothing to fall asleep to. I liked it but some parts are eye-roll-inducing and others… I need therapy to unpack.
