It's okay.

Can't say that I approve of that cover, which looks like a pregnant Virgin Mary icon combined with the Masonic symbol for Baal.

Cover looks blasphemous.

One of the most reviled books in the world/10

i started reading recently overall, and i am glad that i read that book, because now i know what a terrible book looks like. it's pretty cringey in it's faux-wise bullshit which ends up being either just common sense, or something incoherent; but the last 20 or so pages are serious cringe-inducing sequences where i was literally going "oh are you fucking kidding me" every other minute.

its an essential read, that you have to endure to the end, just to know what a shit book looks like.

I read this when I was 15 and it blew my shit away.

Little Prince says the same thing and far better. The Alchemist is too much "look, it's about mysticism! In your face!"

All his works are horrible, but this one is definitely the worst. It's that kind of book which is constantly struggling to seem clever, but it's not. It's garbag, trust me. I don't even want to talk about his mediocre style of writing, as the best part is that shitty-optimistic philosophy, which represent the essence of his works. " If you want something with all your heart, THE FUCKING REALLY BIG Universe will help you get that thing, because he certainly cares about a stupid insignificant small being." I guess it works with 40 years old ladies, divorced, ugly and fat.
