A review by bethanyangharads
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

5.0

I feel like this book landed in my hands at just the right time for reading it. An inspirational tale of how our narrator overcomes obstacles to reach his life goal. This is a 'self-help' book written in a fictional way, which is a first for me. It wasn't cheesy or over done in any way and the messages of the story were easy to understand. I can honestly see myself re-reading this many times in the future, when I just need a friendly reminder to myself, to keep on going. If you are open to different ways of seeing life and the world, then I highly recommend you open this.
