The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

My review

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is a story of a Spanish boy shepherd who sells his sheep so that he can travel to the Pyramids on a journey to find his Personal Legend, the treasure that awaits him if he follows his heart. On the way, he finds love, desert, an alchemist, war, the wind, and God.

I found this book to be a delight, an easy read. It is a parable about the travels we all make to find our true calling. In this story, I was reminded that it is the seeking that matters, not the end goal or result. What we see and the people we meet along the way are the things that make life enjoyable.
