5.0 out of 5 stars sad moments, and other different mood changes throughout the ...
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2015

Throughout the story, characters gave me some outside thoughts that a normal book would not, they brought suspense, sad moments, and other different mood changes throughout the book that make this such a good book. Paulo is on a road for a change in life, with Petrus with him, they explore the road to Copenstela that include different feelings while they were on the road. Paulo is on a trip to find his sword but instead he realizes the trip isn't all about the sword, he is on a trip to finding the sword and along the way he rungs into life changing moments that make him forget about the sword and think more of what time of person he is.

There was rarely any weaknesses throughout the book due to the fact that it always had my attention. Unlike other books that just catch people's attention in some chapters, these chapters have suspense, sad moments and epic moments throughout the book not only In some chapters. Chapters were not to long but also were not too short, different characters made huge impacts on the story leading the book to have more than one main character. I found this book to be very easy to word, there really wasn't any words I did not understand or also there was no sentences that I did not understand, I was able to read the book smoothly chapter by chapter leaving the whole book a positive outcome because I understood what was going on. The characters were some times against each other and in some chapters they worked together, this is a book that I know other people may be able to understand unlike other books that have some words or sentences that are sometimes hard to understand.

I highly recommend this book, after reading this book it left me with a great experience giving me a positive look at the author of this book. This book gave different characters the lead on the chapters, it always had my attention and had some twist and turns that I would not be able to find in just any book. In my opinion, this book had rarely any negative points, this reading was always a time I was looking forward to on spending my time on, I know I can go to this author whenever I would like to read a good book that can catch my attention and I know what would be going on.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Review
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2015

I thought the book was a great book. The book is about a man who is a journey to Santiago. But on his journey he encounters a lot of paths that he needs to over come. He has to dig deep down and find the true him and over come many things. The purpose of this trip is so he can become a new person and do many new things that he has not done before. This will bring out a new him and this will help him as he goes on in life after this journey.

The thing in the book that got me noteworthy was how he had the drive and how focused he was to make it to the end of his task. The strength of the book was it was very detailed and this was a very good thing. The weakness of the book to me was I thought the ending was just a little dry, I felt as tho they could have added just a little more to it. I like the authors writing style this was very good on how he wrote it. It was well written the words all followed very well and his was a great thing. I think the message of the book is to show you that no matter how hard things may get never give up. There is always a road of something to come at the end of everything.

I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a book about a journey or a path in someones life. I think it is good to read as a class because you really get to see what others think of the book together. I also think if you like a book about a person that is going thro something in life that this is a good book. The book just expresses so many trails and then he some how over comes everything. So if you like to read go head and buy the book.

"The Pilgrimage: A Contemporary Quest for Ancient Wisdom" by Paulo Coelho is a powerful and thought-provoking book that takes readers on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual growth. The book is a memoir of the author's pilgrimage on the Road to Santiago, an ancient pilgrimage route in Spain, and it is interspersed with teachings and wisdom from various spiritual traditions.

One of the strengths of the book is Coelho's writing style, which is both poetic and evocative. He describes his journey in a way that is both personal and universal, and his words are filled with wisdom and insight. The author's unique perspective on the pilgrimage, his reflections and observations on the journey, and the people he met along the way make the book a very engaging read.

Another strength of the book is its focus on the importance of the inner journey and the role it plays in personal growth and spiritual development. Coelho provides a fresh perspective on the topic of pilgrimage, and he offers a range of teachings and practices for cultivating self-awareness and inner wisdom.

Overall, "The Pilgrimage" is a valuable and inspiring book that provides a new perspective on the topic of inner journey and pilgrimage. It is a must-read for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of spirituality and personal growth.

I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. The book is well written and offers a unique perspective on the topic of pilgrimage and inner journey. However, some readers might find the author's reflections and observations on the journey too personal and subjective.
