proseamongstthorns 's review for:

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
3.0

It’s well-written and sweeping, but only gives you snippets as opposed to deep storytelling. 

I felt like I was being gently guided to understand the meaning of life. The topics explored here are certainly deep and the lessons learnt clear. 

I loved the anonymity of the boy throughout.
