The Winner Stands Alone by Paolo Coelho

November 20, 2009

 

 

 

This latest book of Paolo Coelho is one that is very different from the rest of the pack (I know because I’ve read all of them and I have them in my collection). It was a slow read at first but the more I turned its pages, the more hooked I got. Probably because in my own little way, I have brushed with the world of glamour and celebrities through the acting bits I did in theater and TV and I know for a fact how messy, superficial, vain and shallow people can really get. Many will really try everything they can to get a piece of the pie… any piece of fame and glory that they can get their hands on. Most of the time, I detest it. But for Paolo Coelho’s characters in this book, The Superclass, fame and fortune have  become the end all and be all of living.
