Hey I read that book for an English class last year! I thought it was interesting but really slow. Santiago's really cool- he seems like a wise old guy who knows a ton (ok, maybe a bit redundant there, but whatever) I liked all the biblical references. Did you know "Santiago" actually means "Saint John" or something like that?

Oh calm down. It was just a question. Just say what you think about the book.
