After 10 years or so I finally got down reading a book which comes under the fiction category. This change of section happened not because of the popularity of The Alchemist but due to many people insisting me to read and digest the text.
The story of a shepherd who is out to find and realize his dreams through various hurdles and a pinch of good luck here and there does have the element of keeping the reader hooked on for the next chapter. Paulo Coelho very neatly blends the nonfiction message in his mind by writing it in form of a tale and hence finding his write up placed under the appropriate section in the book store of his choice.
The book at various parts conveys the good luck factor which follows a person undertaking his new venture. Such lines will any day at any time give goose bumps to readers who are out to experiment with their aspirations.Those looking for hints of a typical story book tale,you have it : the winds of desert have a special mention.
For readers who are actually pursuing their dreams would still continue to read on for Mr. Coelho draws the life of hard working shepherd emerging as a hero wining love, career and money after bearing hardships in forms of nil cash flow, opposition from well built men and other scenarios which one can relate to in real life too!
I would title it as in intelligent book meant for all readers (can count me too) who are adamant on flipping pages of only a particular category.If not a must read, I would say it is a book you should try not to miss out. The book is written to be a best seller.
