Review: The Alchemist


I would assume that you are lucky enough to enroll on humanities subject and been able to register on a subject were you mostly read books/novels and do either a reaction paper or review of that novel. However, most of college students don't feel reading a whole novel for the rest of the semester mainly because its sort of boring, I guess...


But you'll be MORE lucky enough if one of the novels that your professor require you to read was a novel entitled "The Alchemist" written by Paulo Coelho (i just hope you read it.. hehe!). This would probably the best ever written novel by Paulo Coehlo. I just love how the phasing of the story goes and with about less than 200 pages only, the story was smoothly plotted.

The story revolves on the main cast, Santiago, and his journey on searching for the "treasure." Did he really find the treasure that he is looking for or was it just a legend? The answer is on the book! So better grab one now! :)

Highly recommended for people who is searching for something that can make them complete. :)

Review: Lost Symbol

This would be one of the best novel I have read in mystery and suspense genre. What can I expect from the author of Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons? Nothing but pages of full of excitement and great revelations! Dan Brown, I would say, is one of the best author we have right now. Of course to name a few like James Patterson and Anne Rule, he was exceptionally talented as them. So what's with "Lost Symbol" that makes it one of my favorite novel?

The best thing that I love about how Dan Brown wrote this novels is the feeling of wanting to finish the story in just one seating! But, I wasn't able to do that. Haha! It took me 5 days to finish this novel but the wanting to never stop reading is one of the feeling that I really like. It became a drug that I love to abuse myself with 'coz it got me addicted in reading the pages and I always search for any free time that I may have, be it at the office or in a ride on my way to office or home... on a bus! :)

I would definitely recommend this novel to all Dan Brown fanatics out there or to those who prefers mysterious things, suspense and actions! Plus the surprising revelations! I just love it!

What is then the "Lost Symbol"? It's the symbol that can create the greatest change in the history of mankind... but I will not tell you what is that symbol... go and know it yourself. :)

If I have 3 thumbs, i will give this my three thumbs up!
