The Alchemist was completely empty for me. Underneath the wordy and vague surface of “discovering your destiny” and “understanding omens” there was nothing. The whole time i was reading i found myself wanting to scream at the characters and tell them just to get their heads out of the clouds and just live their lives! so, in the most blunt/crude way of saying it….this book is a load of crap.

well actually you are right the boy’s name is mentioned on the very first page and the name of the boy is Santiago.It is surely the best book written in every page of the book there is a message by Paulo Coelho.It also talk about our fear and desire.It is the one of the most inspiring book ever written.

alchemist is an inspiring book.Story is centered around poor shepherd who left everything to chase his dreams.His chase is ease out by the help of supernatural power.Paulo has done wonderful job & the novel has binding power.

It is surely a beautifully written book which inspires any ordinary man to pursue his dreams, with consistence, and look for omens from above which make decision making easier.

This book gave me the biggest headache i have ever had. He says the boy’s name once throughout the whole book. That was really helpful on my book report. NOT. I do not suggest this to anyone AT ALL.
