Unfortunately, I think Coelho is one of those author's who discovered a successful formula and decided to churn out novel after novel, using the same ideas over and over until they became cliched (or maybe they already were cliches, I just didn't know it when I read The Alchemist). Cynical, I know, but I am always sad when it seems like authors "mass produce" to ride a wave of success, rather than concentrate on creating great novels.
