This book was recommended to me by a few people and I dreaded it due to the bad reviews I’ve read. Then something in me said “Just Read It” (plus I saw it for $2.99) and I did… this was a great read and I’m shocked people had such negative reviews. I should’ve read this sooner!!!

I really enjoyed this book. When I started reading, it came about from a place of boredom, but I left feeling much more. This story focuses on the uncertainty of life, and how to embrace this to realize our dreams. I am currently at a point where everything is uncertain, and it gave me hope to continue, to take chances, and to find what it is I want to do in this world. It was an amazing read, I definitely recommend.

I absolutely love this book!

3.5 stars, I might come back and round up after I think about it more. This was so different than something I would normally pick up and was a needed change of pace. An inspiring story of enlightenment featuring a boy, the desert, and an alchemist. A message to follow your dreams and own path in life. I truly enjoyed the quick, lighthearted tale. “It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting, he thought, as he looked again at the position of the sun”

Beautiful writing- it’s the kind of book that makes you feel as if you’ve visited a far off land- the writer pulls you right into Santiago’s world. Reminded me so much of The Little Prince, and instantly became a new favorite I will be reading again! I read it so fast I’m afraid I missed something.

Perfect.

realized this book was apart of my personal legend , words can’t explain , only the chills that consumed my body ; divinely guided , asé

I’ve throughout enjoyed reading this book! It has taught me to really trust God, to discover my personal legend, and that everything on my journey is connected to me fulfilling the will of God for my life.

As I read this masterpiece, I felt inspired by the search for happiness. I could not set it down.

I read this book twice now and its well worth a third read. Lessons that can't be passed up have been written in it and it just leaves you feeling a kind of spiritual growth that is well worth the read and money! definitely recommend purchasing it
