The worldwide bestseller by the author of The Alchemist takes us on a journey back in time, from South America to Holland to Nepal, drawing on the rich experiences of his own life to relive the dreams of a generation that longs for peace. • "A novelist who writes in a universal language." —Los Angeles Times

In Hippie, he tells the story of Paulo, a young, skinny Brazilian man with a goatee and long, flowing hair, who dreams of becoming a writer, and Karla, a Dutch woman in her twenties who has been waiting to find a companion to accompany her on the fabled hippie trail to Nepal.

After meeting each other in Amsterdam, she convinces Paulo to join her on a trip aboard the Magic Bus that travels from Amsterdam to Istanbul and across Central Asia to Kathmandu. As they embark on this journey together, Paulo and Karla explore a love affair that awakens them on every level and leads to choices and decisions that will set the course for their lives thereafter.

Hippie flows so easily throughout each and every chapter. After reading a few of Paolo’s books beforehand, this book is exponentially more interesting. Love, once again, wins!

I just couldn’t find a stopping point!

I love a story of unexpected adventure. Mr. Coehlo has the most amazing stories. The narrator did a phenomenal job of delivering the story.

Beautiful adventure.

I enjoyed the book, but expected a more detailed and longer story. I liked the Alchemist better.

Enjoyable listen.

I was quite bored with this novel of his. I did enjoy listening to the experience but I found it to be a little dull. There are some great takeaways and do not intend on completely discounting the book. Still worth a listen, just not the greatest.

Not bad but not awesome
