Hard-hitting and amazing

What made the experience of listening to The Pilgrimage the most enjoyable?

The narrator's voice was spot on for such a book. It really captured the confusion, desperation and "lost" of that Paulo was experiencing throughout the events, and it instantly starts with such emotion which flows through the entire book. Every time you stop to listen to it, bang, you're right back into the world where you know nothing and are questioning everything, purely because of the superb narration.

What other book might you compare The Pilgrimage to and why?

It's like the Alchemist, but head on full on hard hitting lessons - lessons that make you cringe at times, but worth it.

Which scene was your favorite?

All of it.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It definitely made me uneasy at times... and laugh a few times.

A Spiritual Walk to Holy Site

This bio-sketch is more of a spiritual journey of a highly trained and motivated individual. He is on a quest with a guide; this is his journal of this quest. My purpose in reading it was to get a spiritual feeling through his story. My effort fell short because I wasn’t willing to put in the work necessary to achieve a higher spiritual experience.

Amazing Novel!

This novel immediately captures your attention with the rich words of wisdom and imagery. After I started listening, I was instantly immersed in this fascinating story of personal wisdom, spirituality, and esoteric knowledge.

intriguing

I'm not sure what to think of this story is it true or is it made up it's written in the premise like it's true but it's a little odd at times.
