    My sister got it for me for my birthday. It was very inspiring... It has to do with the paths in life you're meant to follow and how the universe conspires to unfolding you're personal destiny.

    THE WINNER STANDS ALONE is a masterpiece: it talks about values lost and never found again. It looks like a thriller, but it is not - the characters are trapped and manipulated by the people Coelho calls "The Superclass". Once more Coelho made it. And I also believe Coelho is one of the few writers that are always exploring unknown seas, instead of repeating the same plot over and over again. Kudos to him.

    This is pretty true. There is so much to be gained from reading and rereading The Alchemist.

    I'd always heard great things about the Alchemist and never picked it up even though it was within reach. One day I did, and it didn't disappoint! Great read.
