I was bored of this book before the alchemist even appeared. This is a self help/motivational book vaguely disguised as story (self labeled a fable). I shan't be reading again or recommending to anyone.

I picked this up because my pre-teen so said it was his favorite book. I can see why. I thought it was entertaining and very well-written.
