The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
3.0
3.5 of five stars.
One must recognize the beauty in the message that this book aims to convey. I'm a fan of any literature that deepens one's understanding of nature and promotes their connection with their heart. This in this book, the messages of love, connection, and unity are conveyed in a very accessible way, which I suppose has its merit. There are some instances where I'm left artistically frustrated. Moments that brought shivers could have introduced tears, given slightly more time and attention to detail. Some of the imagery feels glossed over, the journey rushed. This may not be literature where every line is worth contemplation, but it does offer a certain degree of beauty. Look at this book as a gateway and not a culmination. I'm sure you'll be satisfied, and hopefully take a better look at your Personal Legend... may it not be so materialistic though. Smh.
