Bumper-stickerese... that is EXACTLY what it felt like! Nice word choice!
If it was just advertising I would agree with you. But it came so highly recommended by so many people that made me expect a masterpiece of simplicity and depth. After reading it I concluded that you have an infant spiritually to be impressed by this book.
thankful for my local library. I may not get the time back that I wasted on it, but at least I didn't spend money on it.
Paulo Coelho is a famous and beloved writer whose ideas influence so many people all over the world. His ideas are very important specially because there are millions of people who believe in them and influence their life. That is why his books are translated and read by people of all nations on earth.
However, those ideas are so selfish and ego-centered that makes a man with similar characteristics, while build walls between people and takes it out of the society. He supports the competition and fighting, instead of cooperation and peace. He is fan of the “warrior of the light” and believes in alchemy and life elixir. All his books are full of miracles and magic and of fantastic symbols.
So, let's have a dialogue with him and his ideas. As he proposed to those who criticize his books, write a book instead, I listen to him and do so. A book opposite to each book of his, are written by me and have begun to be published as e-books and as hard copies.
Now you have a dialog (from the Greek word “διά-λογος”) in front of you, to read, evaluate and implement in your life. This is a dialogue which is present for the first time ever. Take advantage of it, come to your conclusions and stop believe blind what you read every time.
Ridiculous, vague narrative style.
i dont knw hw i picked this book.may be advertisements
Agreed. Don't get why people like this book. I hope I have a market machine like that for myself one day . . . only for a more substantial project
These "critics" are evidence of the failure of the modern day system of education to instruct individuals in the art of examining and evaluating literature for its deeper meaning.
Naw. You have to be ready to hear the book. These people are not ready. Maybe one day they will be or maybe not. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It's actually very funny to me. I'm having a ball reading these comments.
I bought this book 48 hours before my first son was born. I read it in less than 24 hours because as I started in on it, I realized it was the only message worth passing on to my children in life. Yes, the book may be a little basic. It's kind of "Aladdin-y" and it kind of feels like anyone on earth could have written it. All of this does not make this book any less important to me. It came a long at a time in my life when I really needed it. My situation may be a little more fortuitous than everyone else's, but that doesn't make the book a complete waste of time. I rated it 5 stars for these personal reasons. I will keep my copy and write my son a letter on the inside of the jacket and give it to him at his high school graduation to remind him that "home" is always going to be there for him. That he should chase his personal legend with abandon and eventually, you will be able to have "home" and all of your dreams at the same time. WORTH. THE. TIME.
