Well!! I am a noob at reading, I've tried reading many books but couldn't make it till end , but this book is really a work of art I couldn't stop once I started , like the way the story starts and the way it proceeds and it ends is really fantastic. Whoever reading this review I would like to give an advice please don't read this book or any book on people's advice coz everyone is different and have variable choices the genre of book that is suitable for your friend might not be suitable for you all you need is to figure it out what are your preferences and your taste .Thankyou.

Very entertaining,fun and educative. Though I am dissapointed by a merchant santiago worked for, who despite having a dream to go to mecca fears that the day he will visit there he will have nothing to live again for
