nikkis_reads 's review for:
The Alchemist
by Paulo Coelho
I contemplated DNFing this so many times. It took me a month to listen to a four hour audiobook. Why? Because this is complete and utter bullshit.
I only started listening to it because I was reading the Five Second rule by Mel Robins and she recommends this in her book. I completely hated her book and I already had a pretty bad opinion about Paulo Coelho's stuff, but I decided to give him one more time. Nope! Nope.
Do you know the biblical story about the man who had two sons and one went in the world and wasted everything and returned to his father a poor but redeemed man? This is basically a stupider version of that, about a boy who believes in faith and lets himself be influenced by people he knows nothing of.
I wanted to punch someone in the face whenever I heard the words "your personal legend". WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?! This whole book is this retarded boy meeting a stranger and the stranger telling him: "you are seeking your personal legend. Do this!"
