"the alchemist" was written the year i was born and i just read it. No offence to anyone who liked the book, but i just found out the book to be over hyped. may be i had been expecting a lot more from a "bestseller", may be.
sure it is about following one's dreams...literal dreams!!! a boy dreams twice a dream and he thinks its his destiny??!! far fetched, i'd say!! and the book indulges too much on omens and luck!! i do believe in beginner's luck and omens but not so much that i'd let my life guide it.
i still donot understand why everyone who has read the book tells me its a good book, everyyone!! i finished the book waiting for it to get better. i liked the end, or i liked when it ended. i am reading "the witch of Portobello" now. and as far as i have read, it interesting.
