The Winner Stands Alone Audiobook

" Did not like this one, it is nothing like The Alchemist. "

" Murderer in the name of love has never appealed to me, but this was strictly revenge. "

" This is a book I will probably have to read again... in a year or two. It is dark but I put it down quite often: the main character, Igor, too much explanation spent on his obsessive love turning into justifiable evil but also I was not interested in the other characters. There's a lot of shifting in the narrative which did not help neither. Igor could have been interesting in all his quiet madness and still I did not care for him or any of the 5 other characters. "

" I feel that the author was looking for a vehicle to rant about certain issues and wrapped them around an interesting character study of a mad man. I wanted more of the story and less rants about why airlines don't let you turn on your cell phones. Although interesting their own, they didn't often advance the plot and I found them distracting. I had been wanting to read the Alchemist, but picked this up first, and now I don't know if I will bother to read it. "

" Read in Spanish. Murder and mayhem at the Cannes Film Festival. Does not end well for the good guys. "

" A good read. Could have done without some details about the surroundings, nature, atmosphere etc. "

" I did not like the ending! "

" Still the same recurring themes: love, spirituality, religion and dreams. For once, Paulo Coelho explored the "negative" side of dreams...How though dreams are beautiful, sometimes they cost you more than you bargained for. His writing style is quite different compared to the other book. At the beginning I thought that I was reading a thriller though he did lay emphasis that this book is not a thriller from the very start. Still, The Winner Stands Alone, was as engaging as his other books. It made me realise a couple things about myself. Yet, the ending did not meet my expectations... "

" i did not enjoy this book at all. That's all "

" I can't believe this is the same author that wrote the alchemist. I guess I didn't relate to the high fashion and crime world at all so it wasn't very meaningful to me. "

" cold..calculating..but gud enuf for me "

" dgn mengangkat cerita ttg seorang suami yg mengusahakan segala cara utk mendapatkan istrinya lagi... para pembaca dibawa utk masuk dalam kehidupan di balik dunia entertain...yang penuh perjuangan, persaingan, motivasi termasuk hal2 buruk di dalamnya... "

" This author explains things that he does not really fully understand. This is a good book, but also should be taken with a grain of salt. "

" Uno de mis libros favoritos de Coelho. "

" Brilliant writing, story all set in 24 hrs, and that's how I was kept at the edge of my seat, read it very quickly. Loved it. "

" A fine read. Good reasearch been put into it. But Paulo has better work out there! "

" to be honest i found it boring and had too much information and ideas to reveal in just one book. "

" Overrated. The book basicly contains information about how the world of fashion works behind the cameras. Something that, except fanatic teenagers, everybody knows. I wish he would have focused more on the story of the serial killer. "

" pas mal. Cerita seorang pembunuh demi mendapatkan kembali istrinya dengan detail yang bagus festival Cannes. "

" naguguluhan ako..daming characters...patapos na pero di ko magets kung sino bida. "

" still don't understand why this man want to prove his love for a woman by killing other and the woman he love too... "

" I was very disappointed in this book. A long time ago, Paulo Coelho was my favorite author, and I loved the Alchemist, the Pilgrimage, and the Valkyries. This book was not very well written, quite preachy and condescending, and worse yet, boring. "

" Thrilling , enjoyable more like out of a hollywood screen ! its about a guy who does the unthinkble just to win back his ex-wife! "

" Terrifying to follow Igor's thought process and rationalizations. Coelho portrays the world of the Superclass as a kind of enchanting whirlpool that draws hopefuls in then swallows them. "

" well the story is somehow complicated.but i really wanted to see how it ends!and ofcourse at the end i was somehow shocked! "

" Another smart novel from Paulo Coelho "

" What I liked about the book is the information it reveals about the fashion world !!! "

" A really wonderful book. An eye opener to people who thinks that the glamourous life is the fulfillment of their dreams. "

" Paulo took us in a different approach, a sinful modern way. Thrilling characters, kept me going with them in a multi-dimensional vision. Predictable unique ending is his signature. "

" really diferent from the others books but shows the author's Versatic. "

" Though my rating is tentative, so far Mr. Coelho is Brilliant as usual "

" Saya lebih tertarik pada tokoh Igor -seorang pengusaha- yg juga mengusai teknik bela diri dan berjuang untuk menemukan sesuatu yg layak mendapat pengorbanannya. "

" it's true in real life also!!!! "

" versi Indonesia tapinya, apik wis.. "

" The cover and summary look promising, but the progression of the story was a bit repetitive... "

" twas really good. must read material.! "

" This is my least favourite of all Paulo Coelho's books. There is always a meaning to the stories that he writes but this one didn't seem to have one. I was not impressed "
