Critical Praise for
The Alchemist Unabridged CD
“The Alchemist” is a search for understanding. The many messages for the listener as Santiago - the protagonist - goes along his way are valid observations on life. Contrary to the slamming from some reviewers many listeners will find that the boy’s lessons are good reminders of life’s priorities -- and the need to listen to one’s heart.
