It's quite ridiculous to even mention HG's brilliant classic "The Time Machine" in any comparison to the dross by Paulo Coelho. They are chalk and cheese. HG was a prolific, imaginative, and brilliant author whose work has survived the test of time, while The Alchemist is probably among the worst books I've ever had the misfortune to waste my time on. It is, in a word, absolute rubbish.
