A life lesson- everyone should read this book.
Basically the Alchemist for me was a book that shows kids to follow their dreams and to not let anyone tell them what to do. It also says that you should always stay in what you believe in. Don’t let people tell you if you have to believe in a specific topic.
I hated this book. I found it boring and moralizing.
Based on a fictional story, but in the end it gives a hopeful message.
This is a sort of fairy tale, and I positively LOVED it. It starts with a boy who wants to travel, and so becomes a shepherd… THEN he get a clue to find a treasure – and sells all he has to seek it…
Thought provoking
