The Alchemist, 25th Anniversary: A Fable About Following Your Dream
Paulo Coelho's masterpiece tells the mystical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure. His quest will lead him to riches far different—and far more satisfying—than he ever imagined. Santiago's journey teaches us about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, of recognizing opportunity and learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, most importantly, to follow our dreams.

Motivational stuff I am in least need of...
The style of the book which is so contrived, sort of over-hyped for its storytelling. Well, that is the first thing about the book which turned me off. While writing a book whose subject matter be fantasy, would you carry this sort of poetic license always in your pocket?
The style didn't click with me.
The subject matter gives me the feeling of sweet pills wrapped in cartons with deliberate inspirational illustrations over them.
Not my kind of reading.

If ONE more person recommend me to read this book I will bunch him/her in the face!!! I can't believe I wasted 2 days of my life reading this GARBAGE.
Absolutely loved this book from the start. There are so many memorable adages and quotes from this book that I will never forget. It has made me understand and consider many aspects of my life.
Read this book twice before in the past and it’s one of those books that when you get stuck around your reasoning or purpose for doing something, it will help you to be unstuck and keep pushing forward.
This book was written with a story book-like feel which I usually like, but it was a bit trite and just overall mid. Also be warned this uses the g-slur for Roma people and include harmful stereotypes! Also as another review pointed out, the women are just a part of the othersâ narratives. They really donât have their own arcs at all. But the audiobook is only 4 hours so if you want a quick read go ahead I guess? Canât say I recommend though. Surprised because I saw this book get a lot of hype.
