A wise and inspiring story about the pilgrimage that life should be.”
I must first comment that I’m in utter disbelief that there is anyone out there who did not think this book was a worthwhile read!!! Coelho’s book has changed the way I look at life. I keep on-hand, at any given moment, some of my favorite quotes in case I need a quick reference. Coelho presents a story so inspirational that by the time you finish, you want to believe it’s a true story. In any case, it will help you see the value in following your heart, and that every moment in your life, no matter how insignificant, is important.

After having read the book that I borrowed from a friend, I rushed out and bought a copy myself to lend to other friends.I love the truthfulness of the main characters. Of course he’d steal a few millions if given the chance. Of course his girlfriend forgives his quick roll in the hay, as long as she doesn’t have to talk about it. I like the irony when he exclaims to the officer that he’s the victim in the case; at that time he already committed the most universal of all crimes that is so often punished by death: he was dealing with criminals.The only small drawback is the sponsored brand names that are *Jack Daniels* inserted in a sort of clumsy *BMW* way that make it seem like he added them after *Volvo* finishing the plot.When you’re done with this book do yourself the favor of not reading The Client. Your esteem of Grisham is so much better off is you stick to The Firm..
Good times or bad, friends are always there…
‘All endings are also beginnings. We just don’t know it at the time….’
