    <body><![CDATA[The most provacative of all Coelho's books that I've read, but not in a warming way. It niggles into fears we all habor about how seemingly sane people can be completely and murderously insane. I also am starting to dislike how he writes . . . not naming people, but calling them by his &quot;descrip...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76378383">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Certainly not the usual tone of a Coelho novel, but a good overview of what has sadly become a universal truth - that celebrity, fame and the perceived glory of the 'Superclass' is all that is truly worthy of adoration.  Considering the 'dumbing down' of society that media and the pop culture/celebr...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56546173">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Coelho's newest novel is set in the world of 'glitz and glimmer', or more precisely at the Cannes Film Festival. The book is fast paced, and may even at some point seem superficial. The action takes place during a single day, and the writing is kept in Coelho's typical, present tense, simple structu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75415725">more...</a>]]></body>
