The Archer book review

Image
The Archer This is my second encounter with Coelho, the first having been The alchemist, which was, for me , overhyped and underwhelming. The Archer ,then, was a pleasant read for me that felt much more grounded, It uses archery as a essence for life, examining each aspect of the art and framed by the story of an undercover expert archer speaking about the art to a curious child. Coelho's The Archer is optimistic but also realistic and seeks to remind readers what they have control over and what they do not. The illustrations by Christopher Neimann are beautiful.  They are simple and aesthetically pleasing. They do in fact add to the story  It was a good one hour read!.
