  • I read indonesian version of your book and the translation is enough to make me feel fly high after read it. :D

  • I am reading book still. I am on the page 110 :) Anyway, I have a book on English from HarperCollinsPublishers. According to my opinion, translation is not perfect… I was very polite now :) Well, English is not my Mother tongue, but some sentences are totally “strange” and the punctuation signs are very rarely, what make sentences very difficult to read.
    Ok. if we forget, for a moment, this little thing, I can say for now, it’s different than any other P. Coelho book. That is my impression (maybe because I am reading it on English…:)).
    I can say that I feel somehow strange during I am reading. Don’t know why, for now. We will see, what actually bothering me  Maybe Igor is “too much” for me?
    When I finish, I will come back here again. Hasta entonces (I am learning Spanish…)

    I finished reading the book from the same publishers and I felt like you when i was reading it, like something was not ok, maybe because of the translation. I read some other books from Coelho and this one, being different from all the others, came to be enjoyable due to that the topic is actual.

  • Buenas noches.
    En esta nueva obra Dr Coelho, me parece que faltó algo. De verdad que en algunas partes me costó un poco mantener la hilación entre personajes. Tenía que regresar para ver de quién se trataba el siguiente apartado, especialmente entre las damas, lo cual me pareció raro puesto que en todas sus obras anteriores he mantenido el hilo aunque pasaba semanas para retomar la lectura… No se, algo faltó….la chispa que me engancha no la encontré en esta oportunidad… Pero, sigue usted siendo mi ESCRITOR FAVORITO.. y esperaré su próximo libroo.
    Maribel.

  • Apesar de ser um livro “diferente” das outras obras de Paulo Coelho, é um excelnte livro. Mostra a “pequinês” do homem atual.

  • Dear Paulo

    I read the book and it was fine and good narrative. I was left with the following questions which still haunt me even after 1 month of reading the book. Please answer if you get time.

    Why did you justify the destruction of universe by the hero Igor?

    Was it not selfish on his part to deatroy some one not even related to his sorry state even innocent. You let him free in end with no punishment. This way it may send wrong signal that any one smart enough can by pass law to achieve his or her personal agenda. Please clear my doubts.

  • Kept me up late everynight. I just couldn’t put it down. Surprising ending. I’ve always liked how in your books you can transport yourself to the scene because of the live details.

  • This book was interesting from the perspective on what motivates evil. It left the reader questioning, can you sympathize with an evil person. If a person feels justified is murder okay. Very powerful. The voice and story that I still feel needs to be told is Jasmine’s. Her story felt incomplete as if she was just beginning her psychological journey into self. The book is well written and with a great pace. Loved it!

  • Namaste Sr. Coelho,
    Your narrative structure is always fabulous. In Winner Stands Alone, you present a rainbow of perspectives leading up to a moment which is shocking, but probably because I’m an idealist at heart. The final pages after the shocker was

    It’s the most realistic work I’ve read, which is so sad in many ways. I read somewhere that this was a book on power… but it’s more like powerlessness. Violence in all it’s appearances of control is always the act of powerlessness.

    Cannes is presented as a web of interconnected illusion where the only person with her feet on the ground is the “woman with the sad eyes.” To me, she’s the winner, not the “destroyer of worlds.” He loses everything of value, including his mind, but I guess that’s part of the illusion of power.

    This was a difficult book for me to read. I enjoy works from the perspective of a detective, like Hammett or Chandler presented, but from the perspective of the murderer was difficult. I have never understood violence and I doubt I ever will. It just seems stupid to me, but this was a courageous work. Jumping into the mind of a serial murderer is hard… absolute evil was Ewa’s term.

    Often this work felt like an emotional purge. It’s far more cynical than I’m used to reading from you. It’s really celebrity naked for all the world to see… sans botox. :-) Bravo!

    Love to you

    Namaste Marie Christine,
    I do as well. This blog is like the crossroads of the world with Paulo Coelho as it’s center. It’s raison d’être:-)

    I realized that I stopped mid-sentence at the end of the first paragraph… grr on me. LOL I had just finished the book and thoughts were ping-ponging through my brain. What I meant to say was, “The final pages after the shocker was a defining moment for each character.” I can’t say more without giving away the ending, but it was stunning.

    Love to you
