#WanderingJune Day 8: #GypsyRoad in The Alchemist. My favourite image in this graphic novel adaptation is the gypsy & the Christian elements that are interwoven along with the pagan quality of fortune-telling & palm-reading. Coelho‘s message of being true to one‘s self, being mindful of omens or signs, & allowing the universe to open pathways for the actualization of one‘s personal legend remains distinct here.

BarbaraBB Good choice although the book did nothing for me. 5y

Cinfhen I‘m with @BarbaraBB I thought the book was mediocre at best but GN looks good 5y

The Alchemist: A Graphic Novel | Paulo Coelho

so-so

It was pretty good. Years ago I attempted reading the original novel but I couldn‘t get into it. So when I saw the graphic version at the library it seemed like a great way to get the gist of the story without forcing myself through the original. The story and concepts weren‘t anything new or revolutionary for me, it actually reminded me of a few other books especially The Celestine Prophesy.

Sumtime77 Haven't seen the graphic novel before but The Alchemist is my favorite book. 6y

KristinaRay @Sumtime77 I would definitely check this out. The author himself spoke highly of this adaptation. 6y

KristinaRay @MinDea I do. I just did the free version for a bit, but I wanted all the features. They offer the whole year for $20 instead of $30 periodically. I normally don‘t subscribe to apps, but I really love thus one. 6y

MinDea I am on fence whether to pay for the app or not. I am not sure it is worth a paying for every year but I like the app! 6y

KristinaRay @MinDea I totally get it. I had buyers remorse immediately after I bought it. I was second guessing myself majorly at first, but now that I‘ve had it a while I think it‘s worth it! 6y

MinDea Buyers Remorse is the worst! I am worried I'll feel the same way. I'll keep going with the free one til I can't and then decide. Thank you! 6y

KristinaRay @MinDea 🙂 6y
