“I was surprised at how much I loved this book. It was an easy read with a lot of meaning behind the simple story. It gave me a different perspective on love and relationships - both sexual and spiritual.”
“honestly Paulo deserves more mention than he receives and my adulation for him keeps on increasing with each novel but theissue on which eleven minutes is based proves his courage and dedication to present a standard text on one of the basic needs of surviving but yet a taboo - SEX .Definitely the diary entries of protagonist Maria are inspiring , enlightening and quotable . his yet another unique way of unfolding a story is another attraction.”
“I picked this book up in border's one day and spent about two hours with my eyes glued to it! I'd like to finish the whole book, too. It is incredibly strange!! Interestingly philosophical...”
“well I've read eleven minutes and the alchemistand to be honest i expected too much from the Alchemist (based on the reviews) and enjoyed eleven minutes more than the alchemistit's because the way Paulo used to express maria's feeling through her diary”
“2 b honest, i was shaken up 2 read a book like this frm Paulo Coelho after reading The Alchemist (which stands as my favourite novel). But i guess my concern is well answered when he says in the beginning of the book, that he writes about issues which he feels for...”
“its a rly good book...i usually read historical romances and this is my frst philosophical booki rly like the specific details !and i liked that it shows us what real life is...not the life some fairy tails show..!!i heard a lot that paulo coelho writed in an complicated way...but i guesse i liked this specific thing about this book!cz evrythin around us is complicated..and i guesse as suggested before every teenager must read this book..cz im one and i know that i learned a lot after readin it!:)...”
“I really can't wait to read this book!!!”
“'eleven minutes' can be assesed as a fascinating story with a halucinating structure. it's impressive the accuracy of details which paulo coelho uses to describe the setting and the feelings of the characters. but for his talent, the story would have become another sad saga of a naive girl lured by the glamourous life of a big city. instead, he managed to capture essential landscapes that make the reader to transcend into the novel's action.”
“well....it's good....there's much better:)”
“good book and worth reading. specially the diary notes... Some quotations are really wonderful.I should recommend every teenager should read it.”
