Once upon a time I read a book called  "The Alchemist", but this is not a way a review should start, but the way Paul Coelho has written

the book, its absolutely good to copy!

That’s the way the story of the prostitute Maria starts. 
Maria’s life is portrayed with sex, and she being a prostitute. The author has taken large efforts to make people stick to the book. The inherent message given is very strong and worth reading.

The book portrays how easy it is to think and how difficult it is to do. Maria’s life has dreams, she nurtures it, cares for it.

Maria wants to earn money and build a farm. Although the dream is something she doesnt know about she makes efforts to learn it. It is beyond her interests, and so she takes the book and reads it but does not understand a thing. However the other interest she has, sex, which she is practicing regularly, does not interest her either.
 The idea behind showing the issue is that, u cant believe what u do this the best, nor can u think that what u think is right~!

Secondly the story has the aspect of the prostitue meeting different people. Of course one comes across several kinds of people. If u are an marketing or sales guy, a person comes to you, has fixed ideas, sees all, but does not observe any, at last tells his choice and takes it home. Some others are hell bent upon what they want, refuse to see anything tells the name, selects and leaves. The third category, are the people who are the ones who live life as it comes. They will come watch, observe, react, check, feel, evaluate and then decide. All things happening one after other, eventually reaching the result.


          

 The life of the third category of person is shown in the persons like the painter in the book. They take the life as it comes and understand it and put the good things in experience.


          

Eleven minutes is more of an objective minded book.  Dont see the words as such see the depth of it. Thats what is the importance. She says the story of sex is all about 11 minutes,  well then the story of education is all about 3 hrs, like if u want to write CAT, its all about 2-3 hrs but that will change ur life. That’s what the point in it!


          

Well that’s about it. Its my own opinion.
