A review by jmclarkson
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

4.0

I really enjoyed and was inspired by this beautiful story. I only gave it a four because I thought it was moving along quickly and it really blended the parable/lesson with an exciting plot until about three-fourths of the way through where I felt it dragged a bit with the boy (also odd he didn't have a name) and the alchemist in the desert. Great read - flew through it!
