Absolute religious dribble. If you've been recommended this book by several people like I have and arent religous. Save your time and dont read it. The story is about a boy who follows "god" wrapped up in what the author calls "the language of the world" and goes across the dessert and encounters typical things that one would encounter in those areas. It's boring and monotonous. At the end where you think its gonna finally come together they throw in some more religious connotations and you end up feelings like there is no point to the story... then the epilogue throws in the treasure bit for those of you that wanted to know about the treasure and arent religious. It's boring. Would not reccomend.
