Brief Summary

The boy has deep attachment with his flock but realizing that they are devoid of aesthetic sense and appreciation for nature which he beholds, loves and admires, the course of his life changes. His parents' life is associated with struggle in a country which people from far away fantasize and romanticize but for them it's not a place of dream and charm."

I chose this book because my Mother recommend it to me. She is a big fan of Coelho's work, as she has read a lot of his books. As I researched more about this book, I also found it interesting as it is surrounding an adventure in the Pyramids of Egypt.
My prediction of this book is completely opposite of the movie "Mummy", that there will be no supernatural actions and adventure.
