The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho (5)



While browsing the 100 best books in Angus and Robinson I came across The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

It isn't a very thick book but it has so many wonderful stories hidden inside ...

It is described as being a modern day Fairy Tale and is about the personal journey of a Shepherd Boy. I loved the different parables dotted throughout the story and it really made me reflect on what my goals and dreams are ... And what am I doing to achieve them !!! As a bookclub we had quite a lengthy and spiritual discussion on the many things we as woman strive to do and what are the obstacles that are blocking us ...

Know matter what life throws at this young boy he always looks to the brighter side it is the case of is the cup half empty or full ????

If you are looking to read an uplifting book then this book is for you ....

Loved, Loved, Loved this book .....

I Rate it 5 *****
