[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!

Looking For Alaska by John Green

hi guys, finally after i fought my laziness, i can make a blog post lol

it’s about a novel again. i’m sure that you already know about John Green’s books but i thought i could share about this one book here in my blog. well, actually before i read Looking For Alaska, i have read The Fault in Our Stars and A Diary of A Young Girl by Anne Frank (of course it’s not John Green’s). and last night i finished An Abundance Of Katherines but in Indonesian version one. it’s hard to find English version where i live. but i decided that i will make a post about Looking For Alaska because this is literally my favorite one even though i love other John Green’s books. luckily i have the English version of this book.

but i will not tell you about the whole story, maybe a little spoiler *WARNING*. as i said this is only what i thought about this book. not a real review or whatever.
Synopsis:

Before. Miles “Pudge” Halter’s whole existence has been one big nonevent, and his obsession with famous last words has only made him crave the “Great Perhaps” (Francois Rabelais, poet) even more. he heads off to the sometimes crazy, possible unstable, and anything-but-boring world of  Culver Creek Boarding School, and his life becomes the opposite of safe. because down the hall is Alaska Young. the gorgeous, clever,funny, sexy, self-destructive, screwed-up, and utterly fascinating Alaska Young, who is an event unto herself. She pulls Pudge into her world, launches him into the Great Perhaps, and steals his heart. 

After. Nothing is ever the same. 

i love this story because it gives me suspense -when Alaska died. i never thought that she would be died though, and from that i understand why it’s called Looking For Alaska, it’s because they (Pudge, The Colonel and Takumi which are her friends) are looking for the mystery behind her death. whether she suicide or that’s really an accident? (which is not explained in the end). and this story made me cry little lol. well it’s touching, about their friendship, about their own background family. sadly i think i wouldn’t find a real friend like them.

the only thing that i dislike from this book is, when Alaska died, Pudge was only thinking about their kissing. it’s annoying i think, because he is selfish (not willing to call Jake, Alaska’s boyfriend) and it’s only The Colonel who care about her. i personally like The Colonel more than Pudge.

i’m actually not good in explaining guys, besides, there will be definitely grammatically error. so just for in short, i recommend this amazing book to everyone. John Green’s writing style just made me like his books more. oh, it’s his website if you want to read about the questions & answers about Looking For Alaska.

and of course, there are a lot of quotes you can find in this book. one of my favorites is:

“The only way out of the labyrinth of suffering is to forgive” -John Green, Looking For Alaska
