The Alchemist
What better way to encourage someone to follow their dreams! Paulo Coelho has written a beautiful and inspiring story with a wonderfully powerful message. -
The fifth mountain
I loved the Alchemist and adored the Pilgrimage. I am a huge Coehlo fan and an adherent of his "New Age" beliefs. That said, this book is alright. It's a simple tale and easily read like his other books, but this one gets sappy and fizzles out half way through. -
The Witch of Portobello
I have read quite a lot of Paolo Coelho's works, my favorites being The Alchemist and By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept. This is another compelling work by Coelho.
