I still remember last year when i read this , it put me in a reading slumpfor straight 5 months , thank god for divergent i was saved
It felt quite incongruent at times; there were two sub plots - (1) of kidnapping, (2) adventure via a magic bus from europe to nepal - which unfortunately felt disparate and loose. i couldn’t properly immerse myself into the book; partly because i could not stay still, my thoughts were in all directions and maybe in a way, it echoes what coelho casually mentions - we belong to a world that hates standing still.
the narrative and memoir shines glimpses into the "gap year" and inner workings of paulo coelho; where he traversed the world on his eat pray love phase with limited aim and direction, pondering and searching for his truth through sufism, through his adventures and through people he have met. i suppose that’s the charm of the memoir - a hippie travel guide for the 70s and a sabbatical travel guide for the 2020s’ burnt out (late-stage capitalist) corporate workers.
“The years pass faster than you think, Wilma, and I’d advise you to do the same. Take risks now, when you still have your health and some courage."

Unfortunately Paulo didn’t keep me interested in this book, I read it entirely to make sure I wasn’t missing the climax but I never got there.

As much as I enjoyed The Alchemist, I really didn’t enjoy this book nearly as much. It gave me Shantaram vibes, in the way the author chose to structure this book— although it is MUCH shorter than Shantaram was.
This is not a book I would have picked for myself but I was still glad to read it— it kept me curious enough that I did finish the book, but overall I was dissatisfied with it. There were some interesting sound bites and things to think about… but maybe just not the right book for me at this particular time in my life.

aw! this book filled me with so much joy and excitement and curiosity and while the ending was not what i wanted—it was so so real and beautiful regardless
