from metal...to Gold!!!

Okay...Since No One wrote a review on Paulo Coelho's books despite my fruitless pleas, I have taken the liberty of reading one of it myself. Here's a review on The Alchemist.

Is it written in the preface of this book, that a wise Teacher said; there are three types of alchemists: those who are vague because they don't know what they're doing; those who are vague because they do know what they're doing, but who also knows that the language of alchemy is addressed to the heart and not to the mind. Last but not least, those who will never hear about alchemy, but who will succeed, through the lives they lead, in discovering the Philosopher's Stone.

This book tells of Santiago, a shepherd boy who dreams of traveling the world to seek the most wonderful treasures known to man. On his way, he had an encounter with an alchemist that changes his life forever.

This book unravels the three aforesaid characters slowly and elaborately. Seriously geekos, it’s a great read!!!

The verdict :
