Took me a month to finish this one. It's actually fast-paced, but you know me, 2+ pages a day is luxury already. I wish I can buy time.

Anyway, 11 Minutes is about sex and life and ambitions and pain, among other things. Maria, the main character, is not your typical woman. I would sometimes gasp at something she said or did. I would sometimes think that she's mad, or completely gone boinkers. I found myself protesting to how she analyzes things. But then again the key to understanding people is to consider that each one of us had gone through different things in life. And besides, sometimes I'd find myself in her persona too (of course not during bed scenes, for the love of ---), especially when it comes to love. Her definitions somehow fit into mine.

So many good lines in that one, but I won't let you in it. You'll have to discover Paulo's magic on your own.

Have you read this book? Let me know how you feel about it.
