It is sometimes a challenge to write a review on a book that you've read because it could never truly encapsulate the entire experience of reading it or even why you chose to read it. I will do my best to provide a quick snippet of how this book was part of my journey. I worked at a publicly traded FinTech company where I was speaking to a colleague in engineering who happened to be of a familiar tribe. We spoke about a few things, and I'm not sure if I was wearing my "Decolonize Your Bookshelf shirt from TrueDiversitee or some other shirt that I frequent, but through the conversation, my colleague started to speak of this book and said it was a good read and I should give it a try. My colleague proceeded to hand me their copy of the book(which had a different cover) to read set. During this time, I was reading Such a Fun Age, and Between The World And Me before I had the opportunity to read the Alchemist. I decided to order my own copy of the book before reading. It just feels right to me to have your own copy of what you're reading. I appreciated the read, it frankly fit well into my life and contributed to the journey I was on. I ended up recommending the book to another colleague as we spoke about life events and just elevating and progressing in our professional and personal worlds. A few days later, I received a text from the latter colleague stating that they ordered the book, and a few days after that, they texted me stating how much they enjoyed the reading. My theory is that this book will be enjoyed by those already on a journey or starting one, or rediscovering another journey. Either way, it is up to you to decide if you want to read this or not. But I will continue to flow in which this book flowed to me, it was suggested, so if you are someone who is in between the books, or a moment in life, I would say or maybe write " Have you ever read The Alchemist? It's pretty decent. I use to read it while I would catch the city bus and one day I committed a whole day to finish it because it was legit." Also, why did my car get towed when I parked it in my correct unit designated parking spot, why was it $500 to get it from the towing impound when it was only there for a day, and why did not property manager not call me back after leaving them a voice mail? Can y'all people do better!!! I will also add that the tow company damaged my bumper during the tow, and now the HOA is charging me for a parking sticker. But like Santiago, I will continue forward and it will all work out.

The story is about a boy from Andalsuia and his adventures through African desert to find treasure in Pyramids of Egypt. One can easily relate with the story because we all have our own goals and this book will teach you that no matter how many obstacles come in your way you should never give up
As per the quality of book goes, It's not that great, Pages are low quality. But the texts are readable without getting strain in your eyes. So I can say the quality of book is okay
I'm giving 4 star because of the low quality of the book.
I hope this review will help you in your buying decision.

A good enough story, but relies on a certain existing mindset

The story is that of a shepard boy named, Santiago ,from Andulasia. The boy embarks upon a journey in search of a treasure that he had dreamt of. Each one of us are, infact, Santiago, unable to realise when and where we spilt 'the spoon of oil '. As you go through the book you learn that all is not lost and there is hope.
Narrated in a simple lucid manner,the story is interspersed with metaphors ,fables and allegories. Compelling, interesting and full of hope and positivity, The Alchemist is a bedrock of inspiration that instills a strong sense of faith in yourself.
Such is the power of this book that you will want to read it again and again. Paulo Coelho has an uncanny knack to soothe your soul and boost your morale. This book, in my opinion, should be read by everyone, young and old, atleast once .

If you read these kinds of books to find answers... you won't find it here.
