I admit, I took it on the shelf because I'm attracted to St Jacques, so obviously I was attracted to this book. He reconciled with the style Coelho (after a failed reading the Alchemist there ten years). I believe in fact that we must be "ready" to find an interest, look yourself a personal adventure, otherwise the book is to appear flat. To advise those who want to read a good fictionalized adventure inviting reflection, or those that are a minimum "spiritual". If not, go your way, or this way will overcome you. Personally, I do not regret reading this chance.
