I have already gone through many motivational theories. And i have watched a few hollywood moives in which the 'lesson of keep doing struggle' is shown. Thats why the novel didnt appeal me. But, pualo really knows how to paint a scene and present into the words. Indeed, he is an excellent writer. I have the whole list of his novels, but currently focusing on English and other css subjects.

Superb novel.
"When you really want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you achieve it"
This was the central idea of the novel.

I have read it many times and will read it agian whenever got time. I cant forget the words of the man who took away the boy's money in Tangier a port city. The man said that port cities are full of thieves. when I shifted to karachi, I realized that the man was right. Every port city has its share of corruption that you may not find in other cities.
