My friend, Devin, got me this book. During college where everyday seems like an adventure, having this book is a great addition. 

I remember reading this during the train ride to/from campus. What used to be a long 45 minutes, turned into several pages of adventure. 

I remember as the book was in English, I had a hard time connecting with it on the early pages. However, my English got better as I hangout with friends and use the language more often in campus. 

With time I start immersing as if was there in the Andalusian fields, in the seas of Morocco, then travelling the desert to the pyramids of Egypt.

The book convey significant spiritual message about following one's dream, metaphysics, and advices about life every young man should read.
