A review by laurtiv
The Winner Stands Alone by Paulo Coelho
3.0
I love Coehlo...whatever he writes...I love. I enjoyed "The Winner Stands Alone" because of the transcendent themes: love (which is in all of his books), vanity, and ego. The book is set during the Cannes film festival and follows the ego of a Russian-born killer for lack of a better word as he stalks his wife and her new husband and kills a few souls along the way to send her a "message."
My review isn't going to do Coehlo justice, but I love how the character who is the most "true" to herself "Stands Alone" (hence the title) and those that claw or marry their way to the top in essence get what's coming to them. It's a treatise on today's society set in one of the worlds glamorous and opulent events--and it's worth a read.
