I read in Spanish, by the way. Translations can alter content some times.

Thanks for your opinion.
Actually, I will withhold my real opinion of the book. I have read many books in Spanish too... But As far as I know the writer's first language is Portuguese. Yes very similar but a little different... Jorge Amado...much better writer IMO. Maybe he has a better book out there... would like to give it a go.. but, I found the Alchemist weak....
