Aleph

first of all i would like to thank flipkart.com for the wonderful services rendered. keep up the good work guys.

Now about the book.
well I'm no hardcore fan of Paulo Coelho but i must say, of all the books he's written i find this one to be the most the most inspiring save for "the alchemist".
i just got the book today and i already finished reading half of it.It's one of a kind.
It compels you to dive deep within yourself and ask your heart who you really are and what your existence mean to the world. it illuminates the struggles of human life. it emphasizes on the fact that we must live now because no one is getting out alive. this book reminds me of a line in a story by Ruskin Bond, "it's not time that's passing by my friend, its You and I."

With great anticipation i bought the book by advance booking. Thanks to flipkart for its great service. But the book was not worth at all. This book has great resemblance to "Many Lives Many Masters". Both deal with reincarnation, re-birth. Not much punch dialogues, no great philosophy!! Paulo coelho's Alchemist, zahir, pilgrimage, fifth mountain, eleven minutes are classics. This book is no where nearer to those books !!
Though he fails to give his best this time he will always remain my favorite author and one of the greatest writers and philosopher !!

I just finished reading the book, and i must say its Paulo Coelho in all his glory! The book will make you laugh and cry and heal you at the same time. It will transport you to a completely different universe all together. Its a great read and a pure delight. I am breathless and at peace with everything at the same time.
go for it and you will not be disappointed

First of all thanks alot to flipkart for delivering this book and bluedart for their swift act.
This is my 1st book of paulo coelho and also one of best book i have ever read .I recommend this materpiece to all readers .

Mr. Paulo Coelho brings out a gem again.The intricate details of the past lives captured my attention to the fullest.How he connects the dots also facinates me.The connection between physical & spiritual life is made by an utmost ease n thats what makes other ppl believe that they can do the same.The scenic locations also convey a serene picture which also helps a person feel what the author is feeling-Especially the eagle flying over the Baikal Lake episode.A abecadarian that i am,i didnt find it hard to comprehend what the genius wanted to convey.The writing style is also simplistic bereft of jargons which is a good thing as a layman can easily understand what the author wants to put across.
I expected a lot from this book & ahoy this book has lived up to its expectations.
