caseykc 's review for:

The Fifth Mountain by Paulo Coelho

2.0

---

As with The Alchemist, and Coelho's other books I guess, though I've never read them, The Fifth Mountain is more about the message than the story. Honestly, I consider the storytelling to be a bit clunky, but that's really not the point. There are a few gems in this one and should be pretty meaningful for anyone struggling to find some meaning in the midst of pain or destruction of some sort. I was pretty bored throughout this story, but that doesn't mean I won't read anymore of Coelho's books. Trying to uncover the message(s) underneath the stories is what will keep me reading. It's good to keep in the conversation...
