Book Review: The Alchemist (4.5/5 Stars)

To be honest, I was really not sure of completing The Alchemist this soon. To be really precised, I’ve completed half of the book today only. I’ve bought this book perhaps in the month of March, 2018 while passing by the road to meet my client, I encountered with a small stall where a person was selling books and that really attracted me to buy this amazing book.

After that I kept the book for a long time without reading it, though I started reading it 15 days back and reading after the office hours, during the free time of the day and somehow could reach half of it.

When I picked this one out of so many..

But what made me complete the book in a single day? Well, I’ve been to Goa again 2 days back and I bought an amazing book ‘The Book Thief’ by Markus Zusak.

I promised myself to complete the current one, then only I’ll move to the next one. As I was craving to start The Book Theif I completed and I’m so glad about it. Because usually I keep a single book for many months.

I had my flight in next 15 minutes, but I was busy buying this Beauty in Goa Airport at 5 am. That’s the thing about writers and readers that they do what they want at any cost.

So yeah! Let’s talk about the book as I’ve finally finished it. The first edition of the book was published in late ’90s and that’s so amazing to see it’s still evergreen in today’s time. I guess, that’s what’s Classic books are for, they never go out of fashion.
