Theos-Talk Archives (November 2005 Message tt00096)

some authors must be denounced, for the sake of good people...
can you imagine that most high school students think that paulo coelho
is one of the worst writers they have ever read, he doesn't even know
how to write in his own language, his books are full of mistakes and
when asked about this he had the petulance to answer that the mistakes
are intentional to test people if they are paying atention, can you
believe it!... maybe because people abroad are reading translations,
they are not afected by this. His storys are not consistent
literature, the plot is kind of loose.. all his books repeat the same
impact sentences.. and he is read here most by people who have a very
superficial knowledge of religion, philosophy and esoterism... as i
said, is a easy reading book, a self help book, and I am much
impressed to see in a theosophical list people concerned with this
'pop' and inconsistent writer.
