In itself this book is o.k but in my opinion not a masterpiece. The front cover gives it away when it says "in the bestselling tradition of the alchemist". This book is not the alchemist but uses the well known name to sell its self. It was written is the alchemist style but that was it. The book was always aiming at conveying divine love and wisdom but it I feel it fell short of doing that and so, what was left behind was an o.k enough story and a quick read for a rainy day. Not impressed, sorry.
