I might get him his own copy since the library keeps calling for the old one back.<br /><br />Thanks for an honest review on this one.Aisle Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269549353612065870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-66427844475189394452010-12-29T20:57:14.711-05:002010-12-29T20:57:14.711-05:00I'm sorry this one didn't turn out to be a...I'm sorry this one didn't turn out to be a good fit for you, but thanks for being a part of the tour!Heather J. @ TLC Bookshttp://tlcbooktours.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-70673896883729264642010-12-27T14:17:51.531-05:002010-12-27T14:17:51.531-05:00I think I read the original book ages ago.

Since graphic novels aren't really my cup of tea, I think I'll give this a pass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2861558236080696007.post-40564312308093729852010-12-24T17:22:24.874-05:002010-12-24T17:22:24.874-05:00I thought there were a couple places in this adapt...I thought there were a couple places in this adaptation that strayed from the original story, and I can definitely see why it'd be confusing, especially all the parables at the beginning.

As a result, The Alchemist is not a book I'm interested in reading. What I really can't understand is why so many women enjoy it. To each her own, though.Donnahttp://booksbound.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
