This was an inspiring read, and written like a fable. There's so many moments of wisdom, spoken along the theme of listening to your heart and fulfilling your personal destiny. The Alchemist isn't the protagonist, but rather a young shepherd who learns about these life lessons during a long journey.
You'll enjoy this book if you're in the mood for something more lighthearted, inspiring, and thoughtful.
