Finally finished! Paulo Coelho characters are hard to leave. In this book the character that moves the book is evil, and not likeable for any reason. I was tempted to abandon the book, because I do not like to read about evil. However, I stayed with it, because Coelho has much to say about the social condition, and I like his comments peppered through the narrative about our universal concerns. If you like Paulo Coehlo, it is worth reading. The underside of life at the Cannes film festival, is probably worth knowing, because we all see if for glitz and glamour, when it is really a place where everyone goes to be seen, be used, and to be promoted, or to promote products, films, directors and actors. It is a world that is far too unattainable for the ordinary, and a lesson for young girls dreaming of stardom. The span of opportunity according to Coehlo, is very short, so girls especially have to sacrifice and take chances, while disappointment , is around every corner. It is but a segment of life in the real world, that is based on beauty, unreality, and rariefied air.
music, thoughts, books, dreams, more
Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!
