Alchemist Review by Tamanna Sahib

Alchemist book review has been previously written at this blog, that review was by my friend Puneet. Now this second review is by my cousin Tammana Shahib. Here comes her review for the novel:

Alchemist it is the book about the boy who hd gone in the search of treasure that was hidden in the pyramids of Egypt. On following of his dream he had gone through a journey from Andalusian to Egypt. In between the journey he met many people who realize him the destiny of his life. In pursuing his dream he came across many things that he never learned. A meeting with old man who gave him stone pieces, then to a shopkeeper of crystal glasses and lastly his love Fatima and Alchemist. The alchemist taught him the true meaning of life which he never realized.

A beautifully written book by Paulo Coelho to the journey of life. This is makes us think about your dreams and also your destiny in which you are heading. The most important line

“when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it”
