[tanvi02]

the alchemist book has the inspirational power...what do you think? it is just a good book to read or can somebody learn something from it

[Mairin]

I've had my eye on that book for some time, but have never actually picked it up to read. Would you recommend it?

yes ofcourse i will.

[Perrywinkle47]

Off course I would say it is a must read.. Learn to follow your dreams..

[PetarD]

It's one of my favourite books... and I do have great taste in books so yeah it's worth reading. It's one of those books that find a way to combine great story line, fantasy, moral lessons in one. What I find most interesting is that the impression it leaves in every different person is different from the last. I compared mine with that of 3 of my friends who borrowed it.

I agree. The author has left to the readers to understand the story according to their own perceptions.

Now i'm curious....that might be my next book. What is it about?

[Perrywinkle47]

Its about this guy named Santiago who learns to follow his dreams and for that he takes up a journey where he meets the alchemist and he discovers many interesting things. Its a different but interesting read!

[Alexa12345]

Yeah, it worth to read it. At first for me looked childish, but after couple more pages i began to understand the goal of the book and how profound it is. I think everyone who has aims should read it.

[Perrywinkle47]

True! And Even if you don't have any aim in your life, you should still read it..

[likemangos]

Thats great

[Vector]

It is a great book, but what you take away from it will depend on your own journey through life, and where you are in that journey when you read it....

[Perrywinkle47]

Every reader would draw a different perspective form this book depending upon his experience and learning.. Well, I believe its with every book, isn't it?

According to wiki, it's the 12th most read book in history. Evidently, there are a few of those whom think that the read is worthwhile! I am reading it now, just for this fact, and I am not disappointed.

Its in my top 5 favorite books of all time. The Alchemist is perhaps inspirational but I would also assert that it is thought provoking and generically applicable to life. For instance, a friend was going through a divorce, she found solace in Santiago. Another friend was at a career crossroads, she found answers in Santiago.
Probably my favorite author. Ever
