The Scorch Trials [The Maze Runner #2]

Assalamualaikum guys!!

sebelumnya aku mau ngucapin selamat tahun baru 2016 yah walaupun udah telat banget haha.

rencananya aku mau ngepost tentang buku The Scorch Trials ini dari kemaren-kemarenn haha tapi karena kau sok sibuk (aku lagi PKL sekaranng) jadinya baru sekarang deh aku mood ngepost-nya, sambil numpang WiFi dikantor haha 😀

menurut kalian yang udah baca novel ini gimana? menurutku, iyasih lumayan bagus ceritanya tapi alurnya agak lamban. juga tentang (Spoiler) konfliknya Thomas sama Theresa, aku jadi ga suka sama Theresa karen adia pengkhianat walaupun dia ngelakuinnya dengan alasan tertentu. 

satu hal lagi yang pastinya kalian udah pada tau (kalo udah nonton filmnya pasti ngerti) menurutku FILM DAN NOVEL 95% BERBEDA. pas nonton filmya greget banget pokoknya. aku loncat2 deh nontonnya.

initinya, kayanya aku ga bakal nerusin baca buku ketiganya deh udah males soalnya hihi. tapi tetep deh The Maze Runner is the best.

menurut kalian gimana guysss?

Go Set a Watchman & Ocehan

HALO HALO!
Akhirnya bisa buat post lagi (ง ͠° ͟ل͜ ͡°)ง
Banyak hal yang terjadi beberapa minggu ini. seneng, sedih, stress, rasa syukur, penyeselan, semuanya komplit terjadi T^T oiya, salah satu yang bikin aku stress yaituu.. jreng.. jreng.. ‘proposal skripsi’ sumpah bener dah bikin bingung nih ya, perjuangan buat lulus kuliah taun depan. Amiin.

Dan ngomong-ngomong tentang proposal skripsi, rencana aku mau analisa novelnya Harper Lee yang terbaru, Go Set a Watchman, Insha Allah. oke, tapi di post ini aku ga bakal cerita tentang bagaimana aku akan analisa novel ini dan bla bla bla yang ntar malah jadi nulis proposal di sini haha. Di sini cuma bakal bahas tentang novelnya *^^*

My Rating: 3.5/5

Novel ini, meskipun ceritanya ngelanjutin cerita dari novel To Kill a Mockingbird, tapi sebenernya novel ini ditulis sebelum novel To Kill a Mockingbird loh. kok bisa? iya sebenernya naskah novel ini adalah draft pertama novel To Kill a Mockingbird tapi pas Harper ngajuin naskah ini, malah disuruh nulis cerita yang menceritakan sebelum cerita Go Set a Watchman ini, dan jadilah dia nulis novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Setelah itu, beberapa puluh taun kemudian tepatnya taun 2015 juli, baru Go Set a Watchman di terbitkan.

Langsung kita intip sinopsisnya yuk!
Aku baca yang versi Inggris, jadi sinopsisnya Inggris aja yah hehehe.

Maycomb, Alabama. Twenty-six-year-old Jean Louise Finch–“Scout”– returns home from New York City to visit her aging father, Atticus. Set against the backdrop of the civil rights tensions and political turmoil that were transforming the South, Jean Louise’s homecoming turns bittersweet when she learns disturbing truths about her close-knit family, the town, and the people dearest to her. Memories from her childhood flood back, and her values and assumptions are thrown into doubt. Featuring many of the iconic characters from To Kill a Mockingbird, Go Set a Watchman perfectly captures a young woman, and a world, in painful yet necessary transition out of the illusions of the past–a journey that can only be guided by one’s own conscience.

Written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman imparts a fuller, richer understanding and appreciation of Harper Lee. Here is an unforgettable novel of wisdom, humanity, passion, humor, and effortless precision–a profoundly affecting work of art that is both wonderfully evocative of another era and relevant to our own times. it not only confirms the enduring brilliance of To Kill a Mockingbird, but also serves as its essential companion, adding depth, context, and new meaning to an American classic. 

Nah, setelah baca sinopsisnya, pasti udah ngerti kan ya ‘disturbing truth of her family’. Maksudnya, ketika kita baca novel ini, kita akan menemukan sosok dari ayahnya, Atticus yang berbeda dengan yang kita temui di novel To Kill a Mockingbird dan kita mungkin bakalan kecewa T^T juga, kalian pasti bakal kaget kalo tau sesuatu telah terjadi pada Jem, kakaknya. dan juga oh, Dill i miss youu! dia ga ada di buku ini, malah Scout punya pacar (Henry) tapi walaupun gitu, kita masih bisa ngambil banyak pelajaran dari cerita ini. Aku ga bakal ngasi kalian banyak spoiler kok. cukup lah info-info kecil itu ya. Selebihnya baca sendiri ya bukunya, udah ada terjemahan Indonesianya kok^^

[Novel] The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Assalamualaikum!~
Kali ini biarlah aku menggunakan bahasa tercinta -bahasa indonesiaku~ hihi
soalnya emang bahasa inggrisku sebenernya masih blepeton sih wkwkw

Di post kali ini, aku mau ngomongin tentang buku The Fault in Our Stars yang di tulis oleh John Green! siapa coba yang masih ga tau buku ini hehe pasti semuanya tau dong ya atau setidaknya udah nonton filmnya lah ya. um, kalo masih ada yang belom tau, ini dia penampakan bukunya.

Synopsis:

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. but when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten.

My rating: 4.5/5

Aku udah baca buku ini beberapa bulan yang lalu sih, tapi baru sempet dan mood apdet di blognya sekarang hehe

Sebenernya buku John Green yang bagus2 bukan cuma ini sih ada Looking for Alaska yang kemaren udah aku post, ada juga Paper Towns yang kemaren filmnya baru rilis (dan aku belom nonton -_-) tapi menurutku pribadi, buku yang satu ini buku yang paling ngena ke hati gitu sampe nangis bacanya *ciehh haha. apalagi ya seperti tipikal buku John Green, di buku ini banyak quotes yang sangat berarti dan sedih banget T.T selain itu, dibuku ini juga ada bumbu-bumbu humornya, jadi ga bikin pembacanya bored

Some infinities are bigger than other infinities

Oiya, tentang filmnya, cukup bagus, bikin sedih juga nontonnya tapi ya gitu ada beberapa scenes yang sedikit berbeda lah dari yang di buku, tapi Shailene Woodley as Hazel Grace dan Ansel Elgort as Augustus Waters cukup memuaskan pas meranin peran mereka 🙂

So, bagi yang belum baca dan nonton filmnya, buruan baca biar ga ketinggalan hihi dan bagi yang udah nonton filmnya tapi blom baca juga aku saranin baca bukunya karena ya.. pasti bedalah sensasinya hehe.

Have a lovely day everyone!

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee [Novel]

Yay finally i’ve finished reading this book~ the oh-so-amazing book and this book made me realize that i lack of vocabularies lol. Talking about this book. this book is well-written of course. i love the way this book started as a flashback and the flashback itself is the main story.

In my opinion, this has many good values. it tells about human behavior, kindness and cruelty, love hatred and also humor and pathos. it is a very good book for children. not only that but also this book has captured the discrimination and racism in America in 1960. This book is regarded as a masterpiece of American Literature. also, it is good for children to learn how to behave from this book. 

Even though this book has southern accent writing style, but i understand it, of course. don’t think i’m too stupid to read such a book hehe :v. well this post is not areal review lol but it just— i just felt like i should post something after i read this book hehehe ;___; 

Well, i just want to recommend this for yall who read this stupid blog post -and i’m sure no one read this -_-

Currently i just so into these songs:
Still I Try – The Honey Trees
Somewhere Only We Know – Keane
Pressure – Milk & Bone
One Moment More – Mindy Smith

Bye! Have a nice day!

Slammed by Colleen Hoover [Novel]

I just finished my reading of Slammed by Colleen Hoover today and it’s really incredibly an amazing book!

To tell the truth, actually i was going to read 13 Reasons Why but i didn’t found it in the bookstore. so i looked around to find another interesting book and found Slammed. before i decided to buy it, i browse about this book in the internet and all i can see is only the great things about this book so i decided to buy it instead.

Well, i’m not going to give much spoiler here. i’m just wanna tell you all that i love everything about this book. the way how Colleen Hoover wrote it, the plot, conflict and how Lake and Will solve their love-problem by reciting a slam poetry at N9NE. also, since i’m a literature student, i love to read the poetry inside this book and read The Avett Brothers’ quote and i’m planing to listen to their songs lol. it is so inspiring for me. this book is such a masterpiece i think. Colleen Hoover is now one of my favorite authors. unfortunately, i haven’t read and buy the second book (Point Of Retreat) and This Girl (third book) yet which one tells about how Lake and Will relationship goes after Lake’s mom -Julia died and in the third book tells about their relationship after they are married.

Oh anyway, the first book tells about Lake’s life after her dad died and move to Ypsilanti, Michigan from Texas. and she met Will there. and within a few days they have more intense feelings, but there was such a shocking revelation which makes their relationship won’t happen and continue.
i really recommend this book if you like reading novels 🙂

You can read the synopsis and reviews about this book here

Bye and have a good day!
