review 1: A very matter-of-fact telling of the life of a famous author. I like what I've read of Coelho's works... parts of The Alchemist moved me. I didn't want to know that someone capable of conveying so much in his writing doesn't love it. I didn't want to know that He only sought after recognition as a Famous Author. I didn't want to know that he is capable of such cruelty and doesn't care at all about the pain he causes. I didn't need to see that he's a narcissist.
review 2: From the first pages the story makes you feel quite ambiguous about the famous writer. The biography it's very detailed. Obviously, Mr. Morais had a huge stuff to work on it. But as in the end of the book the letter of P. Coelho says it -pretty much- he didn't gave the more secret or sentimenta
... morel aspects of Coelho's life and character. For example, he refers the writer's feelings so little times and when he does to he doesn't pay too much attention. It sounds to me like he is describing the life and the actions of a robot and not a passionate human being with such a full life! Also, in the end there were too many details about the sales of his book...So many numbers of the sales and the money he earned! I was a little tired of that... Anyway as my general opinion about getting know better with Coelho...As i already said i feeli really ambiguous! I've read his books and i really like them, but now i've seen a writer who almost did everything to be famous and rich i feel very confused... His books are supposed to make people follow their dreams and live life to the fullest and pay attention to things that really matter or be more spiritual. But how can he persuade us for all this when himself had so low motives and he is a member of an esoteric organisation? I don't know if Mr. Morais paid more attention to the negative side of Coelho or Coelho is really such a person, but it's worth to read it and have your own opinion about it. less
