When it comes to Paulo Coelho and his books, this name sounds very catchy and one is curious to read it quick to know as to what this genius prose writer has in stock for his readers- during eleven minutes…

I’m actually using this book for an english project; I’m making a paper on it – literary criticism. You truly are amazing with words Mr. Coehlo; the book was very descriptive. I loved what Maria said in her diary and it made me look at the world in a different way. However, i find the ending a bit off, but still, i could not help but love it. Eleven minutes is probably your only book that i like; no offense Mr. Coehlo. Thank you very much
can i have the e-book for eleven minutes
Are we all looking for love in life and do we actually need to find it or does it just lead to more disappointment and let downs?
We must love ourselves. Is it Love from or for another? Balance perhaps? I want to know more.
many thanks Mr Coelho.
i read this book i enjoyed it i read it within 2days its interesting and it goes to my spirit i am not believe in love but after this book i think there is love there is love desire not just sex ; i love your book your deeply details. thank u
I love Paulo’s books they are insightful, mysterious, usually leave you with a sense of peace and hope and faith and most of all there is a point at the end of each book. However, I have struggled to see clearly what that was in this book. It was a wonderful exploration of love and sex but the talk of how everyone’s life is mundane, ordinary – we live, work, get married, have kids and such, that makes us all unhappy…..I have struggled with that concept in this book. What is the correlation? Does anyone have any insight?
Thank you.
I just read “Eleven Minutes” this week. Having yet to be disappointed by any of your works, this particular book spoke perhaps more to me than any of your others as there is such a message regarding the gifting of oneself, of one’s true self, of a return to figurative virginity and innocence that can be achieved when a relationship is so indeed unique and reciprocal. Sex, touch–is all important in life but one can be touched without feeling, which puts into words so much of my married life–listened to without being heard, viewed without being seen, needed without being loved…and the need to step beyond ourselves in order to love the other requires so much trust and self-love that it can be a scary and seemingly vulnerable step to take. Once taken, however, life and love are rarely seen in the same light again.
It was lovely reading this fairy-tale come true for Maria. Thank you for that.
Be well, Mr. Coelho.
before, i haven’t had even the slightest idea what this book was about. until my friend recommended it to me. until now i haven’t read it yet. but based from the reactions this book is already getting, i can’t wait to just relax in my couch, with a cup of coffee, with this book in my hand reading it at the wee of hours of the morning! i just love Paulo Coelho’s works!
i love your book..the best!
