A book review I’d like to write a book review ,not only because I’ve read a wonderful book, but also I have no idea what to write( just joke). This week’s book is “ The Alchemist” written by Paulo Coelho. I read this book when I first entered the college but just this week I read it again and I find that this book consists more things than I have known before. This book generally tell a story that a sheepherder leave his comfortable hometown wants to explore the bigger world. So he faces a lot of problems and also understand the true meaning of life through his adventure and deep-talks with a alchemist. The story is simple and easy to understand and even a little boring, but the thoughts behind the story are very deep and meaningful. First the writer tell us that fate is a joke in fact, each man has his own fate but that doesn’t mean we should obey it and stand it. We can change it through the efforts we make and also following the mission the god give to us. There some one may ask we shouldn’t give in our fate but why we have to follow our “mission fate”? In my view ,I think what the writer want to say is that we should recognize our own strengths and weaknesses and to take full use of our strengths. Finally, this book is worth reading. Though I have read it twice, I decided to read it again and again and also introduce it to more people so more people could know more about the true meaning of out fate.
