Book review The Alchemist

A book long overdue 

Every book is a journey, with every line transporting you further into the realms of the author's imagination. The books of fantasy allow readers to look into the world, that had never been seen or thought of before. Fantasy book starts with a very big WHAT IF. What if there was another reality, a reality so exciting and complex that it boggles your mind, sheer beauty of it images of gives great pleasure to you. A reality that keeps pulling you deeper within. Distracting you from your mundane reality, with images that shows the colour of life you have never seen before, the constant fickleness that keep you on your toes and prevent you from closing the book and jumping out of its reality. I came across one such journey, when I started reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.


This journey will start from nothing and will lead its readers to see wonders and witness miracles. In this journey reader meets many people, whose words and acts may seem useless at the time, but as the journey deepens, the readers will find those eloquent words prophetic. This journey will teach many things along the way, it will keep pulling you deeper inside. To make you realise and care for many things in your world. It will  end on a high note, that will leave its readers speechless. 

This book is about many things destiny, love, hardships, taking risks, learning, socialising... I could go on but some readers may find even more things when they read this piece of literary art. This book posses the wisdom that will  train you mind to never give up. It will increase your hope to an extraordinary level. After reading this book you will be charged with hope and energy to run towards your set goals. You will start seeing bright future. It is a must read for anyone preparing for exams or thinking that they should give up. It will define you what the real treasure in life is, and what one must do to achieve his or her goals, and how willing one should be to get to these goals.
