rakshit087's review against another edition

4.0

This book has a special place in my heart, my school friend gave it to me to read, and it was one of the first books I ever read.

The book is easy to read. It's about a shepherd who embarks on a journey to find a treasure he saw in his dream.

The book helped me to trust the world a bit more, listen to my heart, follow my dreams and most importantly live in the present.

Very wholesome, even if it wasn’t super deep or anything

2.5/5
Easy to read and quite sweet in its own way but is also rather odd. There’s lots of little stories that seem like they should have meaning but none of them really do.
