Will to continue

I first read this book in the summer of 97 on my way back from a trip from Ottawa, I'd found it in the ottawa airport. Two years prior to that, I'd read The Alchemist and never really gave much thought to other books by Paulo Coelho, dispite the lasting and impowering effects The Alchemist had had on me. It had me hooked and only at 16, I was convinced and determined that I was going to walk the Camino. Five years later, last may, I finally achieved it. It was my moby dick, really the only thing I'd ever set my mind to doing. The book inspired me to take a journey of a life time. In doing so, I found so many more journey's I'd never imagined. I highly recommend that you read the book, and once you have, live the Camino for yourself.

Impactante!!

Existen algunos libros interesantes, otros que van más allá, son buenos, pero hay algunos como este que son impactantes, son de esos que dejan huella en el corazón de los hombres. El Peregrino de Compostela es un libro que debe ser leído por todos aquellos que viven del reto, por aquellos que a veces puden sentir que la lucha es inutil y demasiado dolorosa, es excelente para jóvenes de 18 a 99 años que quieren revitalizar su alma. Felicitaciones al autor.

Good book for the personal visionquest!

Follow coelho and his adventures in Spain. Good exercises follow each section to help you develop along life's journey. What would it be like to have committment? What would it be like to learn about yourself in a whole new way? This is a good book for the personal visionquest.

A very interesting book for the message and story alike.

I have read Brida, the Alchemist, The Valkyries and The Pilgramage which is the most outstanding (all of them are great).I thank Paulo Coelho very much for his messages. Just say, it is worth it to read it, but if you dare to believe, as I do, you can go further, if not, don't worry, it's in no way a boring book. I suggest you to take the Road to Santiago after reading it. This book has made me to change a lot, and I promise, it's being a great change. I strongly recommend this book for those who don't know what to do with their lives or are full of doubts about their future. This book is helping me to find my way and to look at the Road and pay more attention to myself and my inner soul. But it's not just to read it, it needs practice, faith, will and time. I think it pays off, because what really matters in life? what we have in the material world or what we can achieve in the spiritual and psycological world? This book deals with the latter.It's your choice. Good luck!.
