What I liked the most with this book is the introduction. I find it so true and so real. It tells me about my own experience that I was so amazed: about those who want to fulfill their dream and when it's not the case, about their disappointment, their hopelessness, .... I understood from the book that it's everybody's aim to see their dream come true, and they do everything to make it, they go through all the problems and difficulties, they leave everything so that that one thing will be revealed. So wow.... But I somehow got lost with the magical and fictionnal vocabularies and terms. Still, it's a must having read it.

The book is a fable ,and its a strong story realated to the reader by an omniscient narrator. It is told in the form spiritual texts like geeta or quran .

The book is spiritual and inspirational for the readers
