christianmartinez 's review for:

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

5.0

---

probably my most read and most returned to book. very easy to read, very loose, broad stroke moral findings that could be seen as middling; to me, they are made more easily applicable to different parts of my life as a result of their broadness.

whenever i reach a formative point in life, or a low/high point, i bust out The Alchemist and give it a quick reread to be able to further reflect. very special book to me
