Summary: Spirtual....
Review: If you're looking for another Alchemist this is not the right book for you... it is about Mr. Coelho's personal experiences, it is written in the first-person, and it is more spiritual. But its events are so mind-boggling that you can see where the author's inspiration comes from for his literary masterpieces. It gives you a profound respect for Mr. Coelho and his achievements. It is NOT FICTION. It contains "Meditation" exercises at the end of nearly every chapter. The main aim in my opinion of this book is to remind us of the mystery of the world and that not everything is clear to us as humans, but that despite this, it remains our duty to fight for what we believe is right. Most importantly, this is not a self-help book nor does it spoon-feed you theories about life... DRAW YOUR OWN CONCLUSIONS about its deeper meanings...but read it.

Review: Irecommend The pigrimage it's not only a good but it may take oyu to a place that only dreams can take you. After i read this book, i understood a little more about life. paulo Coelho describe many ways as if he has expericed this feeling that he showedin his words. He described them such good details and experesses in his writing. Once oyu start, you wil not stop reading the book. From my experience I could say that it affected on me in so many ways. The Chapter on " Command and obedence " I realized that it taught me things that never seemed important. when i was thirteen years old my life was a lmess i was out of control at that moment. I know that my family was helping me establish with my life and who I was. So i hope with few words it will get you to read this book. Just remember if you need a help to find a giude or even help or oyu feel depressed or lonely, Just read this book it eill help you to get some comfort in your life.

Summary: Strange, interesting book
Review: Once I started reading this book I couldn't stop. However, at the same time I thought it to be a strange tale, certainly not something I would expect from someone who would want to walk El Camino for religious purposes. Maybe I'm a sceptic, but the excercises struck me as too good to be true - I wonder if they would really work on someone who's trying to find some kind of inner peace. Anyways, I would recommend anyone to read it and maybe exchange ideas on it.

Summary: Did he really do it?
Review: See my previous review below. Reading the Pilgrimage inspired me to follow the same route, known as the Camino de Santiago this summer. (In fact I finished the 850kms yesterday and I am typing these words from an internet cafe in Santiago de Compostela) I was the 18th South African to have done the pilgrimage in the last decade or so - for the introduction to the camino I will always be grateful to Paulo Coehlo. I have had the time of my life and in a sense it was the first step of the greater pilgrimage of my life. I met many many Brazilians on my pilgrimage (after Spaniards it seems Brazilians are the most common pilgrims to encounter) and most of them said that Paulo did not really walk the camino - he did parts but mostly he drove in a landrover. This was "confirmed" by some of the Spanish hospitaleros who run the pilgrims refuges along the way. Not that I have a problem with that in itself - its just a book after all - I gues I just dont understand why, if in fact he did not walk all the way, he wrote the book in such an autobiographical manner? So if you are reading this Paulo, did you slog the 850kms or was it all bogus?

Summary: Oh dear
Review: Silly, very silly. The Pilgrimage is a ridiculous confection of half thought out semi spiritual nonsense. Paulo Coelho claims to have walked part of the route, catching a bus through the mountains of Galicia, in search of his 'sword' in the company of a male spiritual guide. He enjoyed plenty of out of body experiences and wrestled with a dog, which was of course the devil himself, not one of the thousands of wild dogs in Spain. This book will and does appeal to a large section of society, and if your bookshelves are groaning under the weight of dream interpretaion and past life exploration books, then take a look at your Feng Shui advice guide and throw them all out and replace them with a slim volume of the Pilgrimage, it has it all - even tranced out dancing in a castle. I wonder if Paulo paid the 4Euro entrance fee to join his fellow Knights Templar for that?
