I don't get it. I'm quitting half way through. I like the simple writing style, but the point of the story isn't working for me. So I'm done. ...more

This is a hard one to review. I was, like some others, underwhelmed no matter on what level I was trying to get into it. I expected more. Liked "The Zahir" better. ...more

Inspires me to listen to my heart.
Similar to Celestine Prophecy, even more so than his other work, The Witch of Portebello.
Told as a fable, quick read.
