#11: The Alchemist

A few years ago someone told me I should read The Alchemist  by Paulo Coelho.  They said it was their favorite book ever.  I waited awhile and then bought it for Levi for Christmas this year.  He read it and said it was okay.  We sometimes don't have the same taste in books, so I thought I might enjoy it more than he did.  I was wrong.
This book was just so boring.  Levi said the beginning was slow, but I kind of liked the beginning.  It was during the desert wandering that my mind started to wander.  I couldn't really focus on the book and just kept drifting to other thoughts.  Or I would fall asleep while reading.  I can't really tell you half of what happened, because I don't really know.
I liked maybe the 1st 1/4 of the book and the very end.  There was just too much in the middle that I "missed".

Up Next:  Unlikely Warrior by Georg Rauch
