This was the first non fictional book I've read and completely. For me the story felt more than it being non fictional, but rather a FABLE. The book was beautifully written in every aspect, the journey of Santiago to find his treasure or as written in the book "personal legend"  but found so much more than he could imagine......the lessons he learns from the people he encountered, the religions and traditions of those he encountered, the appreciation of God's work, the appreciation of love, the appreciation of nature and to always listen to the omens. However I didn't like how most words were being repeated in almost every single page.

"To each a personal legend to realize" 

     I found myself questioning, if I have found my own treasure, have I fulfilled my destiny, have I found my happiness?.
     Ever man born to this world have a role and destiny to fulfill, and this book speaks to those who are yet to realize their personal treasure
