"The Alchemist"

After a long time i read a novel given by my friend,"The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho though the novel seemes to be small one unlike other novels with 500 to 600 pages.It had just 172 pages and the prologue created a sense of penchant to proceed further.
The entire plot is about a shepherd boy named Santiago and his serach towards destiny.He always believed in wat his heart desires.He had a recurrent dream ,”Where a child playing with his sheep and took him by his hands to Egyptian pyramids “ and the child said to the boy “if u come here u can find ur treasure ,when child was about to show the location the boy woke up.”He was determined to know wat the dream was about.
He began his journey towards Egyptian pyramids.On his way he came across various characters like gypsy woman, Melchizedek the king of salem,crystal merchant ,the englishman,alchemist ,fatima and tribes.All the characters offered some their hand to realise his dream,it is considerde as Beginner's luck .Even the wind ,sands of desert and his heart spoke him the path when he was mystified.
The boys character was so well intertwined with all other characters which makes you feel that you are still not yet boarded the train of adventure(to be optimistic rather than saying having missed the train).He emuales all the emotions like anger, frustration,suffering,longing,determination,irritation,anxiety ,so you feel like travelling along with the boy and consider his destiny to be yours.
Epilogue is truely a surprise element which no one can regret to mention(better read it for urself). For ardent readers dont miss it.
