My Rating: 4.5/5
I have actually read this book at least twice before, and recommended it to, or just bought it for, friends. It is such a lovely read, beautifully written with an enchanting tale of a young shepherd in Andalucia who has a dream one night that sets him on a different path through life. Understanding the signs that are shown to him along his way, he experiences people and places that conspire to help him achieve his goal.
I think this is truly an inspiring book, and each time I have read it it has left me with such a feeling of calm. It always makes me feel reflective of the choices that I have made in my own life, and also positive about the choices that I will make in the future. There is a real message of not being afraid to follow your dreams.
So, who should read this book? Anyone looking for some inspiration to achieve their dreams. It really doesn't take long to read. I would suggest a picnic blanket, some sandwiches and a sunny afternoon in a park as the perfect accompaniments.
Next Book: The Colour of Magic, Terry Pratchett
