Book: Eleven Minutes by Paulo Coelho

Last time I didn't know how to appreciate the Alchemist. This time, Eleven Minutes is more interesting, but I still can't quite grasp its underlying theme. It's based on a true story of a prostitute. Coelho doesn't judge her. He just describes her life and shares some of her diary entries. I suppose the book means to guide the reader through a journey of discovering love. I could relate to some of the proses. But generally I'm not in the mood of reading book about love. So... I won't comment much on this book.

All I'll say is that the topic of this book is quite different from most other books that we'd read. Inspirational books are usually only appreciated by people whose souls have that particular aspect to be soothed. So, depending on your current state of mind, you be the judge whether you want to read this book.
