I cannot stress enough about how much I LOVE this book. I was honestly taken aback when some people told me the book was "preachy", "annoying", "fake".
I strongly disagree.The Alchemist is a story about a boy who follows his dreams and encounters interesting people on his travels.
Reading this is a yearly tradition for me (it's been about 6 years now) and each time I find something new.
The Alchemist fuels your inspiration, hope and wanderlust.
