About the book
This book takes us through the story of a shepherd boy,who sees pyramids while asleep ,surprised about the same dream every night,he inquiries with an elderly woman.As she exclaims “there is treasure for him in the pyramids and that he should go for it,also that is the reason for this recurring dream”.This boy wanted to give it a try and the rest is his intriguing journey to the pyramids.All through the way,we find many principles,quotes spilling out from the author.One among them is “If you wish for something in life and make an effort towards it,then the whole universe conspires you to do it”.I paraphrased it a lot.So that I don’t want to ruin it for you.
There are many more like this,they come so close to you,touch your heart and stay there for a very very very long time.
And the climax of the story is top notch,you don’t want to miss this.
Review:-
I have read it thrice and never felt bored.Paulo Coehlo teaches us life lessons.I bet you would pursue your passion,soon after you complete the read.
Recommendation:-
I strongly recommend it to every body.If you haven’t started reading at all,take this.If you are feeling low,take this.If you are finding ways to pursue your goal and in doubt,take this.If you have read already,take this.
Well, as I said this book is for everybody and for every time.
