The Alchemist by Paulo CoelhoMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book felt like a journey. It follows Santiago, a shepherd chasing a dream of treasure, but really it’s about self-discovery. I loved how it blends a simple adventure with deep life lessons about following your dreams and listening to your heart. That said, sometimes it felt a bit too simplistic and overly philosophical, like it was spoon-feeding its lessons. Still, it’s an easy read with a timeless message and a gentle reminder that the journey matters just as much as the destination.
