This book is actually beyond my expectation.
I'm familiar enough with the Disney's version, and I think the original version is far more deep and complicated.
My favorite quote is “If everybody minded their own business, the world would go round a deal faster than it does”
Buku ini cukup sulit untuk direview.
Awalnya aku membeli buku ini hanya karena buku ini ada di rak tengah periplus sebagai best seller, maka ketika aku melihat ada buku bekasnya langsung kubeli tanpa cek resensi.
ketika dibaca, kesan pertamaku adalah “cerita petualangan ala LOST”.
Tapi ternyata ceritanya lebih berat daripada itu, dan terus terang aku sempat merasa agak terganggu dengan penggambaran di buku itu, terutama jika ada adegan perburuan, mengingat tokoh-tokohnya masih berusia remaja dan anak-anak.
Saran: sempatkan untuk membaca author's notes di halaman belakang buku, di situ akan dijelaskan makna-makna simbolis yang terdapat di sepanjang cerita.
Actually, I'm pretty shock when I read the first chapter.
I picked this book because I was really impressed with “Lovely Bones”, but this book is very different.
I think to read this book, we should always keep to be open minded.
And honestly, it is really hard to recommend this book to anyone.
Hope that I could finish this book...
Nice book..
Can't wait to watch the movie.
But I agree with the others, this book is quite homophobic.
Two gay bad characters in one book is too much.
My favorite chapters are Tragedy Queen and A love story.
Actually, this book wasn't on my must buy list.
But since one of my friend suggested this book, so i thought “OK then, i'll try to read that”
The book is a quick reading, I finished it just in a few hours.
Even tough a quick reading, it is actually a good reading.
It is about guilt and betrayal.
It is also about “What should I've done?”.
The story doesn't make sense, but quite enjoyable.
Maybe need additional footnote in the book.
Easy to be understood as an Indonesian, but non Indonesian could be confused by the term used inside the book.
Until you are lost in loneliness then you'll find the meaning of finding someone that you care a lot.
Idem with Twilight...
I've read this book in indonesian version. I just want to read this book in its original version..
This is a great book.
I'm wondering why I have never heard about this book until I pick up this book in the used book store.
Even the book has a good story, I don't really enjoy reading this book.
There are too many details, and it is hard to keep my mind to focus on the main story.
