18ck 's review for:
The Alchemist
by Paulo Coelho
hopeful
inspiring
medium-paced
Not as bad as I expected. It's one of those tales where the main character learns about life by his interactions with other characters who try and teach him lessons from their own life. Could be compared to The Black Girl in Search of God, Siddharta, Candide, The Little Prince, The Prophet or half a dozen others. I'm tempted to throw This Spake Zarathustra into that list for good measure, actually...
Anyway, it's quite in substantial, and I only read it because it had been sitting on my shelf for ages and I wanted to send it on its way.
