The Alchemist
3 or 4 stars? It was a toss up for a while there, mainly because the middle section of The Alchemist wasn't holding my attention, as well as the storytelling style, which I'm not used to. I don't mind being told or taught morals as long as there's no heavy moralizing if you will, but generally fables are not my thing. However, Coelho wrapped up his story nicely, so overall I enjoyed following the journey of a humble shepherd even if it was not what I was expecting.
