The Alchemist (Portuguese: O Alquimista) is a novel by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho that was first published in 1988. Originally written in Portuguese, it became a widely translated international bestseller. An allegorical novel, The Alchemist follows a young Andalusian shepherd in his journey to the pyramids of Egypt, after having a recurring dream of finding a treasure there.
I don't actually recall the plot; I read it when I was still a youngster. I remember it made a lasting impression about chasing dreams and not giving up. Maybe it is worth a re-read now as an adult.

2.5, It had its inspiring moments but overall was full of farce.
Well, I cant write a review in few words on this book. Its an outstanding one. I dont think most readers will find it understanding. Its more of a spiritual world. Want to re-read some day!
