It doesn't feel good to review this because I didn't finish it. I stopped at page 68.

I just wasn't interested. At all. I loved the Alchemist, so I figured I should read more of Coelho's work, but this just didn't do anything for me. I usually love books that have some kind of philosophical message, but this to me seemed like it was heading in a way too preachy direction. And nothing was really happening.

Just not for me.

boring and confusing?? bc it was insanely abstract and had moving pieces that didn’t merge soooooo confusing

I enjoyed the story and was curious page by page of the development. Disappointed a bit by the ending but overall, i liked the book.

3.0

3 stars because I really liked it. It did not amaze me, but I liked the depth of meaning and the contemplation it included. As usual Paulo is always searching beyond the obvious story.
Despite this, I didn't like the way it ended and I found the final twist not enjoyable.

I recommend anyone who is lost and always overthinking to read this novel. It's made for the constant searchers.
