A book that made me cry. It is a novel that talks about how to live and move on after getting scarred in life by learning how to forgive and find a way out of tragedy, despite the despair and death of some of our dreams and remembering, "there can be magic in ordinary things."

This book, so far is one of my favourites. I was really amazed by how jonathan continued his life after what happened to his family, Though he got lost, he still managed to live up to his journey and pick up each of his broken pieces.

A one-sitting read, very engaging and thoughtful, chock-full of metaphors and analogies. Obviously on the metaphysical side but, really, not too gag-worthy.

Finished this book in two working days. Imagine that, i was able to finish it with all the deadlines to meet. this book is similar to the plot of the Alchemist. but what so great about this book is that it is about real people in our time. so it easy to relate to. This book is about the "Valleys of Life", the ups and downs. Worth reading!!! my favorite lines on this book are: "The unexamined life is not worth living"......Sometimes you must let go of the life you had plan
