Question

from Great to Average to Dull which do you choose from reading the book....and explain your rating why did you choose or did you like it....explain in deatil....i just finished reading it and i liked and i wanna know others opinions.

Answer 1

I read this book a few months and really enjoyed it. I have to say it was quite different than what I had expected (and of course, I can't explain what exactly I expected), but I found it very...relaxing.

Haha that sounds sort of funny. I just felt as if the story was written with a significantly different style and pacing than most of what you read nowadays. It had the feel of a gentle parable.

I liked the ideas that Coelho brought to the book. His story of young Santiago was perfectly suited to illustrate the task all of us must seek to accomplish: the finding of our own destiny.

I'm glad you liked it too. Alot of people I know have found it "unbearably boring". Haha too bad..

Answer 2

I think it was okay, but not the best book ever.  Not bad, but not great.  The author had a good idea when he wrote it, but I still think he could have done something more with his ideas.  I met the author and he is so Irish its not even funny lol.  If you want a great book, try the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.  I LOVE IT!  Mmmmm Edward... *drools over keyboard* lol
