Jim's Review
🐛
Some books are short but infinite. The Alchemist is one of those. It's a single-afternoon read that lingers for years. Coelho writes with the simplicity of a fable but the depth of a philosopher. "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it." Even worms have Personal Legends. Four worms — magical and timeless.
