This is the first book by Paulo Coelho that I ever read. And I must say that it is damn awesome.Until reading this book, I had heard so many people talking about it and I was little bit curious to know that is this book worty of that much praise. But when I read that book, I became a fan of Coelho and currently Im reading another book from him which Ill review as soon as I complete reading that.Main Characters: Santiago ( the boy) and Alchemist.The Alchemist is a story of a boy Santiago who dreamt of some treasure repeatedly. Its the story of his journey to find that treasure. And he meets an Alchemist on the way and the Alchemist guides him on the journey.By my above statement, it may seem to be like just another fiction book but wait.This is not about the journey of that boy. This is about my journey, your journey and everyones journey who have dreams in their lives; who want to achieve something; who goes against with themselves, against their families and against this entire world to chase their dreams.In his journey, he comes across various situations which dangles him but still he never gives up. And when he thinks like giving up, then the consequences dont let him give up.Maybe it is not a self help book but still while reading this, at some stages I was like, Damn, I wanted to know this exact thing. This thing gave me the clear picture of my situation. I got the solution! Does this book contains some values? I must say that everyone who will this book will definitely get some values from it. Its really helpful.Who should read it? Everyone who have dreams in their lives.
