Paulo Coelho - The Winner Stands Alone

THE WINNER STANDS ALONE is a masterpiece: it talks about values lost and never found again. It looks like a thriller, but it is not - the characters are trapped and manipulated by the people Coelho calls "The Superclass". Once more Coelho made it. And I also believe Coelho is one of the few writers that are always exploring unknown seas, instead of repeating the same plot over and over again. Kudos to him.

I'm afraid I didn't enjoy this one. I was expecting a thriller, so perhaps that is why I was so disappointed.

 

It was more of an observation of the super rich than anything else, and I didn't get anything from it. The characters annoyed me, and the plot was a bit far fetched.It just wasn't for me I'm afraid.

This is one of the books forming a huge pile on my desk,waiting to be read.And being a Paulo fan of course I'm looking forward to it,but I have to say I wasn't very amused with the subject he wrote about here,and reading the previous comment,well,that just scares me even more :/ But I'm still hoping Paulo will surprise me as always :smile2:
