Book Review of The Alchemist

The Alchemist

I started reading this book and it was definitely different. It irritated me at first because it was so childlike. I put it aside for a little bit. Then I picked it up again and read for a while. Then I picked it up again and did finish the book, less than 200 pages long. As I read more, it got interesting. The message is so simple that it can be appreciated, if you have the wisdom to know what the author is trying to say. Sometimes the simplest things are the hardest to understand. I can appreciate it because I have experienced a lot of things being older, just 59. I was quite content after I finished this. You have to be ready to read this book and understand it.
