The Alchemist is a novel written by Paulo Coleho. This novel was very enjoyable to read. i would definitely recamend someone to read this book. At first for me it was confusing but after a while i started to understand and grow to like the book. This is the first book that i have ever read that i really enjoyed. Every night that we had to read i wanted to keep on reading to find out what was going to happen next, that's how much i liked The Alchemist. ti was a very nice story for people to also learn by. Learn to never give up on your dreams. Santiago's dream was to go to the pyramids and find his treasure along the way of course things got in his way and delayed him to get there a few years later, but he did eventually got there. its just teaching you to never give up on anything, your dreams, love, career; just anything. Live your life to the fullest and you will never have to give up on your dreams and things like that.
