  Can't believe it has sold more than 35 million copies worldwide. Sometimes it is even boring.

  Although it's a good book to read trough quickly. And the story is written quite understandable, I'm not really enthousiast about it.

  During the reading I constantly had the feeling I was reading some sort of bible story. The main character in the book is on a journey to find his ultimate treasure.. During this journey he discovers some wisedoms about life.
  Seems that the writer wanted to teach the reader about life, omens en persistence to reach your goals in life.

  Loved this book because it tries to get at what is important in life. Almost every line opens up a discussion in my head.

  It tended to get a little silly and cheesy, especially at the end. Arbitrary would be a good word.

  Recommend for those people who want to learn English or want to get used to English.
  Also the one who is pursuing dreams, exploring future, self and needs some support.
  It's translated in simple words but with significant meanings.

  Really weird but cool book! Plenty of little anecdotes that really make you think about your purpose in life.
