» PLOT «

Santiago is a young shepherd. Torn by the decision of love or treasure, he embarks on a journey to find both with the help of several mysterious people around him.

I got nothing from this book. I don't think I will remember it in a week.

» READABILITY «

If I hadn't read this with an audiobook, then I doubt I would've finished this as fast as I did. The book is slower paced.

» CHARACTERS «

While reading, I really didn't connect with the characters or the story. Nothing really makes any of them relatable or likeable.

» WRITING «

The writing is profound or anything, its pretty average.

» OVERALL «

I didn't realize this book was that short, but I'm glad it was, since it's not for me.
