But Winner Stands alone is grossly incomplete. None of the characters are justified, nor any pointers to "follow your dream" which is the usual line in his books. Disappointed and confused. May be a good reference book for how Cannes functions!!Sathishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131150008805693252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768725188316425430.post-91651075647453906132009-11-19T21:40:11.212-05:002009-11-19T21:40:11.212-05:00In my own way, I resonated with some of the charac...In my own way, I resonated with some of the characters of the book. I know for a fact how messy the world of showbiz is and I'm just glad I was able to stop myself when I still can. <br /><br />I love the book! It may not be like the other Paolo Coelho books I've read but this one is definitely a star. :-)Jen Adams Juanhttp://bookworm.i.phnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768725188316425430.post-40659729443759176962009-11-01T12:38:22.029-05:002009-11-01T12:38:22.029-05:00I have read many of Coelho books but I didn't ...I have read many of Coelho books but I didn't really enjoy them. I think the plot was booring, although it conteined many wise things. This book is absolutely different and may be becaus of that I liked it very much. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768725188316425430.post-22024402492501828032009-09-22T02:16:12.295-04:002009-09-22T02:16:12.295-04:00I just finished the book.

It is rivetting in the beginning but somehow loses the purpose.It doesn't make an impact. It makes you believe there is only dirt in the showbusiness. May be that could be true.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152892985979658723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768725188316425430.post-7947656841094808022009-07-27T17:12:08.367-04:002009-07-27T17:12:08.367-04:00I'm a huge fan of Coelho's previous books....I'm a huge fan of Coelho's previous books. His latest was a huge disappointment - in fact, I didn't even get halfway when I decided to put it down. It was a waste of my money. Giving it 3,5 is an undeserved compliment. It's long-winded, dull, and almost seems like it's been written by someone completely different. Next time I'll first read reviews before buying his upcoming books.Tanya Nelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13851241900235594269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768725188316425430.post-52923208803883849132009-07-27T10:31:57.008-04:002009-07-27T10:31:57.008-04:00I have not read anything by this author yet althou...I have not read anything by this author yet although The Alchemist waits for me on the bookshelf....Sheila DeChantalhttp://bookjourney.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3768725188316425430.post-52415282273898919102009-06-25T08:24:42.695-04:002009-06-25T08:24:42.695-04:00I love Cohelo's early books, but had to take a...I love Cohelo's early books, but had to take a break from the last couple. Sounds like this is very different from his other books as far as pacing and setting.
