مشکلی که کوئیلو داره اینه که یه سری مفاهیم و حکایتها و کلام رو هی توی همهی کتابهاش فقط تکرار میکنه. این کتابم عین بقیهی کتابها همینطور بود. هرچند یکم برام کشش داشت که ببینم تهش چی میشه.
Hippie was an interesting read! Pauli’s experiences were intense and at times terrifying! I thought his relationship with the Dutch girl was interesting
Im not looking for spiritual guidance from coelho, but I think hes a really good writer. This was very interesting to me specifically due to its autobiographical nature. I think the hippie culture is fascinating and this book did not disappoint in unfolding a tale that held my interest.
So close but did not finish. It was an airplane read and after I didn’t finish on the plane I just couldn’t get back into it. There are some really great lines (philosophical in the way The Alchemist blew me away) but overall it’s kind of a miss for me! I thought it was a satire at first lol
Promising start and cute ending. But Karla is just a pain in the ass and I cannot read that well when I’m rolling my eyes all the time

I'm struggling with this review.
I kept wanting the book to drop knowledge nuggets or get to a point of something. And it didn't.
The stories of the side "characters" were fascinating, but the main story of Paulo and Karla bored me more than I thought it would.... and then abruptly stopped.
This felt more like a really long letter to the past rather than what I have come to expect from Paulo Coehlo. I am disappointed and let down. And even more confused about where this came from and why this book was published.

I loved the Alchemist as much as the rest, but I love this book more. I’ve never resonated with an author like I do Paulo Coelho and this book is no exception. This story is real, and as an avid traveler I couldn’t relate more.
Though not at all literally similar, this book brought back many memories of my own travels in my early 20’s.
