This book has very mixed reviews, which I read after I read it myself. Reading those reviews had me questioning my own experience, but I can only share what I felt.
This is a very quick read and only very small parts of it include a story. The majority of it is an analogy and uses brief, simple terms to explain it.
This simple analogy will make you think. It can be related to any part of life and isn't specific enough to give you a step by step guide to achieving your goals. But to me that is the point. This book wants you to think for yourself, to be brave and make mistakes in translating its meaning, to determine what it is saying to you. Not what it is saying to someone else.
There are plenty of self help books for those looking for guided plans but this is not one of them. Look to this book if you are in the mood for a more zen, thought provoking idea that will encourage you to come up with your own answers.

Such a good short read. With this being the second book I've read by Paulo Coelho, I think he's starting to be my favorite author; the way he writes stories that leaves me contented, is unexplainable experience. There's always a beauty I find in the way he writes that differ from other writers and I think now, I've realized that the first novel 'The Alchemist' that I read from him, had greatly influenced me so much so I somehow write the way how I feel whenever I read his works.
