About this audiobook
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho continues to change the lives of its readers forever. With more than two million copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has established itself as a modern classic, universally admired.
Paulo Coelho’s masterpiece tells the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found.
The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories can, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life’s path, and, above all, following our dreams.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A true motivational story, and the lack of characters names is amazing, one gets so invested with characters without feeling the need to even know their names, great writer.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The best line was the parable that if something happens once, it will never happen again, but if it happens twice, it is bound to happen a third time. Otherwise, too much about personal legends, kings, gypsies (derogatory term btw), souls, discussions with forces of nature and love. Just seemed like it was checking off the boxes. I was craving more cleverness and/or profundity.
