The Winner Stands Alone is the enthralling new novel by the incomparable Paulo Coelho. The story is set during the Cannes International Film Festival and the entire action plays out over 24 hours. Igor is a wealthy Russian businessman. His wife Ewa left him two years ago and Igor has never really come to terms with their break up, especially as Ewa is now remarried to a famous fashion designer, Hamid Hussein. Igor is insanely jealous and when Ewa left him he told her that he would destroy 'whole worlds' in order to get her back, and he intends to keep his promise! Igor has followed Ewa and her new husband to Cannes and his plan is to cause as much violence and destruction as possible until Ewa realises how much he loves her and comes back to him. Ewa loved Igor but she was absolutely terrified of him. She knows that Igor has killed people in the past when he was a soldier, but she also knows a dark secret - that he once cold bloodedly murdered a beggar who was bothering them in a restaurant. Igor is clearly unhinged and he will stop at nothing to regain her love and so he goes on a ruthless killing spree until he tracks down Ewa...The star-studded film festival acts as a backdrop to Igor's maniacal murdering spree and we are ntroduced to various characters along the way, all of whom are desperately trying to get their big break in the shallow world of show business; Gabriela a young and naive actress who is being exploited by her agent and Jasmine a troubled young Rwandan refugee working as a model. The Winner Stands Alone is a gripping, fast-paced thriller, and Coelho cleverly weaves in elements of social satire, poking fun at our celebrity and money obsessed culture.

读后感

读这本书，富豪的杀人心理不是我所关注的，而作者对娱乐圈各种剖析是最吸引人的地方，比如电影是如何发布，慈善晚宴是怎么回事情，模特风光背后是怎样的故事，时尚圈光鲜背后又是怎样的。。。。保罗好像潜伏在这个圈子里，把一切表面华丽的东西揭示得干干净净。从这个角度来说...  

柯艾略利用“巧合”和“宿命”，将多线叙述，用连环杀人案纠缠在一起，越往下读，越感觉到撼动。 孤独，是这个名利场上的名字。 女演员也好，名演员也好，女模特也好，设计师也好，都想尽办法跻身上流社会。 而这盛大的宴会，一推开门，却充斥着深深的无聊...  

「海鸥在海湾上空飞翔，突然看见一只老鼠。他盘旋而下，问道：“你的翅膀呢？” 每种生物都有自己的语言。老鼠听不明白海鸥的问话，不过他发现眼前这只动物身上长着两个奇怪的大东西。他应该病得很重，老鼠想。 海鸥发现老鼠死死地盯着自己的翅膀，寻思着：可怜的家伙！魔鬼袭...
