A review by spenellispeaks
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

3.0

Going into this book, I had a certain expectation of a truly mind-blowing experience. However, that did not happen. Now, don't get me wrong. The book is well written and has a true message, however, I wasn't thrown from my chair in awe of its magnificence. Perhaps, had I read this is a different state of mind or in its early publication, I would have been more impressed with its content. Overall, sweet story, great message, but nothing I haven't come across before in my own reading.
