Rating: - Perfect
One of the purest books ever. Talks so plainly about the biggest truths of the universe.

Rating: - Mildly entertaining
Mildly entertaining, read it because it was highly recommended elsewhere. A little too cheesy for me. All I can say is the universe is conspiring but not toward our success! Enjoy.

Rating: - Old Man and the Sea meets 1001 Arabian Nights
This story was my first read by Paulo Coelho. It harkens back to Hemingway's Old Man and the Sea. The life values the book tries to inculcate in its reader are venerable. The allusions, and prose of religion and God meld to make an inspirational voyage. In the word's simplicities, lies the greatest man's conundrums.

Rating: - The lesson
The lesson of this book is one that my father has been teaching me since i was a boy, and that is the best way to learn something is to get up and do it. Everyone that I look up to has also told me the same thing. The best way to achieve your dreams is to take the first step.

Rating: - One of my top 5 books
Simple fast read. Many lessons in this book. I have passed it to friends who end up buying their own. Its got a great message. I highly recommend it. If it ends up not being for you, you still had a good read with a good story that is well written. Can't go wrong!
