As you can see I own 2 copies of this book and I have decided to release both of them in the wild and to keep a third one for my personal library.
I hope you enjoy it...

Released on Sunday, September 15, 2002 at released to fellow bookcrosser in Edmonton, Alberta Canada.

Onesmartcookie I am happy to lend you this book and I really hope you do enjoy it!

Thank you! I just picked up the book and left another book for you at the same location! Happy Hunting! Thanks again, I look forward to reading it!

The story: Santiago, a shepard boy leaves his home in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king and The Alchemist who aid him in his quest.

When I first recieved this book, it was tucked alongside my stack of other books. It was generously dropped off by a Book Crosser who *really enjoyed this book and thought I should give it a read.

I did. Alot of factors come into the enjoyment of a book. Unfortunately, this book came along when I was crazy-busy and too tired to get the enjoyment that I might have as all the others have.

The book itself is written in a simplistic manner that it can be read by anyone. What a person gets from this book is up to their understanding of the principles therein and there are many worthy comments to be made about this read. As noted in the book itself,"To relalize one's destiny is a person's only obligation".

Its concept can be compared to a folktale, a myth, a fable or something as truely amazing as a book called The Bible.
I hope that my comments are not taken out of context.

Until I had recieved this book, I had not heard of the author or the book itself. This is the beauty of Book Crossing. Thank-You.

Released on Saturday, December 07, 2002 at West Edmonton Mall. in Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
