It's very good book to readVery inspirational and simple language easy to read and understand..Recommend

One of the great book

Language is very lucidThe rise and fall of a people is worth watchingNarration is almost gripping, absorbing, and evocative

I read Alchemist about 10 years ago and i read it atleast once every year post that, it changed a lot my perception about life. I tried couple of Coelho books in the past and none of them impressed. This time, planned to try Fifth mountain and it turns out to be another awesome book. It took me time to get started, but got engrossed once i crossed half way mark. Another master piece, slightly more harsh than Alchemist, showing the hurdles and frustration on your journey and how faith can help you to carry through. Lot of inspirational sentences in the book similar to Alchemist... This book should be read and experienced...

Paulo coelho's books never fail to surprise meAnd amazon did a good job delivering it.No damage on the book

Good

Paulo delves deeper into life's purpose and god's ways to teach about devotion. More like the alchemist, but writing and narration are on point.

THIS BOOK REVIEW IS ONLY BASED ON MY FEELINGS DURING READING THE BOOK. IT DOES NOT INTENT TO HURT ANYONE’S FEELINGS, AND DOES NOT MEANT TO COMPARE WITH ANY OTHER REVIEWER’S FEELINGS.“Yes it was the first feeling that came to my mind when I first finished the book. This brilliant narrative takes us to the path of a simple person, who eventually becomes to be called as a prophet, first becomes a victim of the circumstances & after realization, fought back to conquer his destiny.The author portrayed here the plot as a historical narrative, based on some ancient cities of Lebanon, & with passage of time taught us some much valuable life lessons.Though sometimes use of the Old style of English Language may create problems for the readers but one has to remember that it actually a translation from the original Portuguese writing. So if the originality was not maintained, the essence might have been lost.The thing I liked most in this reading is it’s simplicity of the narrative, and some serious life lessons through a few words, what the author had given.Anyone who is fond of spiritual writings, it is a must read.Though it is kind of an offence to give rating for a creation from an author like Paulo Coelho, but from a reader’s perspectiveMy Rating is 4.5/5.0.
