Reads like a fairytale or if you're trying to teach your kid morals.
The story was enjoyable, it did have stupid stereotypes of North Africans, Middle Eastern people and women. It is dated and I hope Coelho has learned from it.

If he didn't have that shit going on, it would have been a 4/5, but it's a 3/5 and I doubt he's losing sleep over that rating.

3/5
