    Synopsis
    This international bestseller about the shepherd boy Santiago who learns how to live his dreams includes an inspiring afterword by the author., "My heart is afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky." Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams."

      Item came on time and as described, have already done business with seller as this was a replacement for a refunded defective copy of the same set of DVDs. This copy worked great. The seller refunded my defective copy without hesitation and gladly allowed me to buy again. I will buy from this seller if they have any other DVDs I ever need. This is the kind of seller you want to buy from. They communicate well too.* The DVD set was a fantastic price too, thanks again.!

      This is part of a multiple shipment. There was a question about one item in the package, which was resolved, so the package arrived later than expected. However, it was well packed and arrived in great shape. The movies contained were exactly what I ordered, and all as described or better. I give 5 stars all round, including for shipping time, because of the reason behind it. It all leads to great service. Communication is excellent; variety, price & quality also. I highly recommend this seller.

      Every Human ShouLd rEad thiS Novel...

      It's rare to find a simple read with the underlying ability to change lives... yet, that is exactly what Paulo Coelho has done. This novel paves the way to thought provoking treasures. .. that will withstand the test of time. At the end of this story, you will take a deep breath, dry your eyes, and last... you will, in your mind, start seeing things within your own life that you never appreciated before. Possibly you will find your own treasure.

      Waste of time

      Book was a waste of time! Bottom line, "follow your dream" -- overly simplistic. Maybe ok for a teenager, but not an adult. And nearly every page had lots of ink highlighting and underlining -- which I expected because it was in "Usable" condition -- but also the long comments written in the margins were really distracting and not at all helpful.

    • Unexpected

      Unexpected the size of the book. It is just small but it is good. There is a tear on the cover page which I can tape and still okay ... I hope the pages are complete .
