Write-Up Based On Books The Winner Stands Alone

The worst novel that I've read by Coelho so far!! I won't spoil its events and discuss its characters but mainly its weakest points for me was repeating the main idea of how to hate Hollywood & the Super-class life style knowing that they didn't achieve anything REAL in their lives.. which is known already! The thriller itself should be page-turning and in our novel it was not the case (Compared to Dan Brown's novels for example). All the chapters regarding Police inspectors could be omitted

The Winner Stands Alone is the eighth stand-alone novel by Brazilian author, Paulo Coelho. It is translated from the original Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa. The Cannes Film Festival: Ewa is there with her fashion-designer husband Hamid Hussein for showings and some high-power business meetings; Russian telco president, Igor Malev is there to demonstrate to his ex-wife that she needs to return to their marriage. Igors obsessed with Ewa, and he had promised that if she left him, he would

His many characters have so many different opinions, ideas and views of life ,it feels as if many people has wrote this & not just a single man(which is to me is a genius thing) , nice to have a book that's a novel , yet philosophical and informative , loved it much more than the alchemist Paulo has surely developed much in 30 yrs of time .And whats not to like about a book that makes you think ?This book speaks a lot of the life of the superclass and that endless pursuit of fame , wealth

I had to read this as part of a book club and all I can say is what a disgrace to literature this book is. This author is clearly riding on the fame of his earlier books and is now shamelessly churning out crap like this. The plot is ridiculous, there are way too many characters for the reader to care for any of them in an engaging or meaningful way, and they all speak with the same pretentiously monotonous voice. My favorite line in the whole book is where one of the characters has a gun

I really don't know. Should I give it 2 stars because of the annoying plot or 3 stars because the philosophy in it kind of make it better? Well, what really bothered me was the end. And the unnecessary details. Really boring sometimes that I would skip paragraphs. It's my second book of Paolo Coelho, and I just can't see why people are so like OMG! NEW BOOK BY PAOLO COELHO! HE IS A GENIUS- or something like that. My friend is obsessed with him. He considers it like a second bible. And, of

Paulo Coelho has picked up an interesting backdrop to tell a story. The parts where the novel elaborates on what is happening behind the glitz and glamour of an international film festival are interesting. But he has failed in telling a convincing story using that setting and also has confused the reader on whether chasing a dream in the glitzy world is worthy or not. A fantastic setting to give a memorable novel has been squandered.

This novel is engaging on, rather than criticizing and arguing against the Superclass, discussing examples of individuals from it and "wannabes" of it, as well. Coelho enables the reader to see through the characters' own voice how they suffer to become one of the Superclass, and after becoming so, no one is yet satisfied. If getting invited to attend the festival makes you a Superclass, you are not; a table in a restaurant in Cannes during the Festival makes you from the Superclass, you are
