Book Review of The Alchemist

The Alchemist
reviewed on


I did not love this book, but I'm not sorry I read it. It was a selection for our Book Club and many times I go to the gathering, not really caring for the book and after the discussion, I think, "actually, that was a pretty good book." I didn't care for the style of writing, but that could be due to the translation. But there are countless 'pearls of wisdom' in these mystical pages, that are worth unearthing. Definitely would appeal to people in their twenties and early thirties. I am recommending it to my 29 year-old.
