Book Reviews of Eleven Minutes : A Novel (P.S.)
Book Review: a brazilian man writing about women
Summary: 1 Stars
A friend asked me to read this book because I am Brazilian. I get that a lot, I should like something Brazilian because I am Brazilian. I will finish reading this book, but first I have to vent about how insulting this book is to all women. I was raised a Brazilian woman; I know how to behave as such. The stereotype you probably know about Brazilian women fits most of us, because we were bred that way. This book, just like many things in the Brazilian culture, is a man's view into what women are, what and how women think and behave, and how man knows best about women. To sum up, the main character Maria visits her hero at his house and he tells her that: "I need you, Maria. Because you have a light, although I don't really think you believe me yet, and think I'm trying to seduce you with my words..." Oh, this is absurd! A man that has just met a woman can see a light in her that - supposedly - this intelligent woman can not see on herself. Give me a break.
The story in this book is unintelligent, trivial, and stereotypical of a Brazilian man writing about women.

The new novel from the internationally best selling Paulo Coelho After being tricked into moving to Geneva with the promise of being a dancer, Maria finds herelf working the streets as a prostitute for a year. During this time she develops a fascination for sex. This fascination becomes a passion for her work, a desire to make people happy and enjoy sex.
