Eleven Minutes : A Novel

Rating:
Summary: Great read
Review: This was my first book by Paulo Coelho. A friend let me borrow his copy and so I really had no expectations.

Mr. Coelho's writing, in this book, moves along very smoothly and I never once was bored.

The story is not about a prostitue, though that is what the main character does for a living. The story is about making choices, about searching for love and refusing to search for love. This story is about taking risks, some calculated, some spontaneous.

In the end love does indeed conquer all reason because it is the only reason. Why run away from love just because it hurts sometimes. The pleasure is worth the pain.

At the end of this book I felt very encouraged and happy. Yes, there was a happy ending, though the plot was not exactly predictable. Either way it was a very good book and I recommend it to anyone.
