11 Minutes

Finally, I've finished reading Paulo Coelho's Eleven Minutes. Two Thumbs Up!!! I've never read a book which tackles a Female(or even Male) sexuality in a very sacred manner. This book also made me realize that Prostitution (yes the Heroine in this novel is a Prostitute) is somehow like any other job, it might be not a very noble one, but still, it is a profession. It just happened that its the heroine's job. That we should not be throwing stones at them simply by their kind of work because there will always be a reason why they chose that job. He(P.C) proved in this book that having sex or making love or whatever fancy term you might want to call it, is not only the union of two bodies, but the union of two souls, IF there is LOVE involve. It is quite compelling, and truly a page turner. I highly recommend this book for bookworms like me.
