Selepas habis membaca Flowers of Algernon rasa macam nak baca The Alchemist pula....dah lama perasaan untuk membaca sehingga habis ni belum tiba(have a sense of accomplishment) kerana berjaya menghabis buku Flowers of Algernon.. Kenapa The Alchemist kerana dalam 88 ja muka surat dia sebab itu.Selain itu untuk meneroka pemikiran penulis juga kerana cerita ini kebanyakkkan latar padang pasir untuk mencari harta.
Antara quote menarik dalam ni
"Don't say anything," Fatima interrupted. "One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving."
People are afraid to pursue their most important dreams,
because they feel that they don't deserve them, or that they'll be unable to achieve them.
We, their hearts, become fearful just thinking of loved ones who go away forever, or of
moments that could have been good but weren't, or of treasures that might have been
found but were forever hidden in the sands. Because, when these things happen, we
suffer terribly."
When you possess great treasures within you, and try to tell others of them, seldom are you believed."
'Everything that happens once can never happen again. But everything that happens
twice will surely happen a third time.' "
Cerita ini pada keseluruhannya mengisahkan seorang pengembala kambing yang bermimpi dia akan menjumpai harta di Mesir. Dia terpaksa melalui padang pasir untuk mencapai cita-citanya itu dan akhirnya dia kembali tempat dimana dia bermula(ada dinyatakan dalam epilogue). Sangat menarik...dia mulanya marah pada monk kalau dia tahu awal tak perlulah dia bersusah payah untuk menempuh liku-liku padang pasir tapi bila monk tu beritahu dia dapat tengok piramid dan segala hal kehidupan. Dia rasa gembira.
