Guys, sorry if I hurt your sensibilities but The Alchemist is one of the most over-hyped books I've ever read. It's really childish. P.C. has tried to put up a bunch of "quotable" sentences in an attempt to provide a philosophy that's highly stupid to say the least. "And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it..... " the guy is clearly a "sawan ka andha...." and how about that scene in which the boy meets a woman and falls in love at first sight... I mean, c'mon.... gimme a break.... If you want to write a novel, try to make it a little less cheap.
I know this is a "darling book" for many people, but to me, personally, it's just trash.... a complete waste of time.
