The Winner Stands Alone.......absolutely!

Paulo Coelho can appeal to all audiences. This book, like his all others, proves it again. It has the Paulo Coelho signature style but it is so very different. i had read the first few chapters on Paulo's blog and i just could not wait for the book to release in India.

If this is the first book you are reading from this spiritually inclined author's dignified works, you wouldn't believe that he is the same one who has written a book about realising dreams, the masterpiece The Alchemist.

The research undertaken and the elaborate description of the subject matter for this fictional piece is amazing. The intricate details of the rarified murder techniques require intelligence way beyond google searches.

Igor's character is very well-etched. His unflinching acts without any guilt are too intriguing. Of course, the last scene is impeccable. I was present there on the beach...wow.

The way the characters merge into each other's stories is just too intelligent and plausible. Jut when you see one particular character coming to a happy ending, the twist surfaces and your emotions get worked up like the waves of a ocean.

An outside and inside view of the prestigious Cannes festival make you ask for more. It is superb, to say the least.

And i bought this full volume of Paulo Coelho's books available in a consolidated package, after reading this one.
