Book Review: 100 names by Cecilia Ahern

Salam,

Hi all. 

I just finished read this novel yesterday.

It was a good book. But I think this novel is different from others novel from Cecilia.

Well, Cecilia types of writing is there but the main theme is not there.

I mean 'the out of the world' theme.

Like you know, in If I could See you Now, she introduced an imaginary friend.

In Book of Tomorrow, she introduced a book that predict what will happen.

In A placed called Here, she introduced a place where all the missing items go.

So, for this novel, there is no such element included.

It just the way she make the ordinary people look extra ordinary.

She bring the basic element in get to know others by understand and appreciate others.

She taught us to see other people in the other way.

She taught us that ordinary people like us is something in our own role.

No such thing as plain people.

"Every table has its own story"

"Every person has something to tell"

There are so much things to discover, to know, to realize, to understand and to appreciate.

Some people just dont know that they have such a wonderful life until someone tell them so.

It is about those people who think their life is just a plain life but learn to appreciate them more.

Yes, even though this book not meeting my preference.

But still it has a lot to offer.

Cecilia successful to bring out all the love and harmony in just a book. 

You should read it. 

It will make you happy. 

hehehe..

XOXO,

KAzu. 

Book Review: The Cleaner by Brett Battles

Salam

Hi. another book review by me. 

The Cleaner by Bret Battles

(Picture: Google)

This is what I have. The same cover version. 

I've received  this as my Birthday Gift. hehehe... Cool right?

I read it as the fonts is suitable for my eyes. hahha.. (cant read books with small fonts)

I dont expect this book will have good story but I was wrong. 

I enjoy imagined the situation and the storyline. It has well described by the author. 

I found out the author has released several series of Quinn (The main hero).

I looking forward for another great story of Brett Battles.

The cleaner is about Quinn who's job is to make all the evidence is poof like nothing happen.

But somehow, someone is after him and want to make him poof.

Brett bring the whole story just like movies. It has friendship, love line, conflict and happy moments.

So, you will not feel bored while reading this novel. 

The advantage of reading novel is that you can stop whenever you feel suspense and afraid

 (it happen to me).

hehehe... And of course you can skip anything that you dont want to read. But you will miss the excitement. hahaha..

It really help if you have high imagination and you can create the whole scene. hahaha...

So, it as if you watched a film. 

Keep it short, it was a good reading material to kill time.

And jump to more serious life.

"there is a side in this world that we never expect that it exist but it is"

XOXO,

Book Review: Sleepaway Girl by Jen Calonita

Salam

hehehe... 

I've manage to finish reading Sleepaway Girl by last weekend.

(Picture: Google)

I've read this book during my trip. heheh... It is a good book. 

It is true what others reviewed about this book. Once you read it, you want to finish it. 

hehehe... I love the story. It make me want to be young again (High school I guess).

Its not something that happen in my country (or else maybe i'm not aware of it)

But, the theme is refreshing. 

It just like what you will watch during school holiday except it is in a form of novel.

Sam and her best friends from the CIT camps are awesome. 

Ashley is so bitch. hahah.. (can I say that?)

I guess there will be someone like that in our daily life. Someone who think that he/she is the best compared with others. Hahaha... When I read about teenager, there must be something about being popular. Its so not me. Maybe I just the regular student.

This book told you to accept the difference among us but at the same time enjoy the similarities. 

Friendship is about give and take. You are not always who giving and absolutely one who always taking. 

It is not about time how depth we being friends but how we understand them by being them selves.

Even though this book is about teenagers in their high school, LOVE is something that we can left behind. 

Along with friendship,  there also Love spark in the air. Being in love and experienced the relationship is a form of being matured. But you should know the limit based on your religion. 

We take the good things and left what are bads.

This book have all what teenagers enjoys the most. 

Summer Camp, Sleepaway, boys, friendship, prank, love, game and so many more.

It was so interesting.

Read it and you will fall in love with it. 

Looking forward to read another book of JEN CALONITA.

XOXO,

KAzu

 

Mitch Albom: Five people you meet in heaven...

Salam

I would like to share my thought on Mitch Albom novel: Five people you meet in heaven.

(source: google)

I read this novel during my years at university. Maybe around 3-4 years ago.

I like to read Mitch Albom's writing. 

His novel full of good things and it make you think about your life in other direction.

As the title said, it is about five different people from different times that directly related or indirectly related to the main hero. 

At first you will feel confuse and know nothing what the relations between these guys with the main hero.

However as you read more, you will realize that everything happen must be a reason. 

And the book will make you realize that every END is the BEGINNING of something.

There is no coincidence happen in this world. What ever happen will directly or indirectly related to your life and people around you. 

I recommend you guys to take a look and read this book. 

It will help you to look at your life in different perspective. 

I would love to have Mitch Albom's collection. 

I've read this book and For One More Day.

Mitch Albom value human life and his writing is full with wisdom. 

P/S: And I just know that they already make it this book a film.

Need to watch it.

" For everything that happen, there must be a good reason and good result behind it. It just the way we think about it"

P/S: And I just know that they already make it this book a film.
Need to watch it.

Cecelia Ahern: The gift

Salam

This is what I get from my friends as my birthday gift. I really appreciate it. It add on my collection of CECILIA AHERN's work.

(image from google)

It has different cover actually. And this one is not what I got from my friend.

Its about Lou and Gabe who busy with their own  live and work until they forgot that they have a family. Especially Lou.

He really love his family but at the same time he think that his job also important to make sure his family live in comfortable life. He didn't realize that what his family really want is his existence within the family.

He always caught up in two different places but in the same time. So, he wish he can split up into two and full fill his duty. Until, he met Gabe and give Gabe work. He always see Gabe in two different places, both at the same time. 

He manage two ask Gabe and Gabe give him a pill. The pill can split his self into two. One for his family and another one for his job. He enjoy the splitting until someday he found out that his time is near.

Gabe comes to him to give him the opportunity to find his family's love and enjoy his work. 

I end up crying at this part. The part where he realize that he will leave his family.

One from himself make use the time by always beside his children and another one from his job had accident.

This is what people always want. To be at different places and do different things at the same time. Cecilia Ahern succesfully bring out the characters and the emotion within the characters. 

I really like how Cecilia play with her words to make something like The Gift who is reachable by our imagination but it revolve in our daily life.

XOXO,

Its FRIDAY!!! - IF YOU COULD SEE ME NOW

Salam,

Hi!!

Once upon a time, i really love to read novels. I will read any kind of novels from any writer. But nowadays, I become picky and only read novels from certain writer.

The best writer and suit my taste for me is CECELIA AHERN. I started read her work with a title “If you could see me now”. It really was touching. It successful makes me have teary eyes. From that CECELIA AHERN’s work would become my favourite novels. I have all the collection except “PS: I Love you”.

(Picture from Google)

While reading, I imagine myself in the character’ shoes. I think about myself a lot. And I learn a lot. Learn to become a good friend and learn to appreciate what I have. I realize that in every stage of our life, we choose what we will be instead just let the surrounding shape us.

Don’t just blame others but think what you did wrong. You may think that you are in worst condition but think carefully and you will realize that yours are not as you think it is.

I found a list of quotes from my search in google:

http://www.goodreads.com/work/quotes/3242779-if-you-could-see-me-now

“Life is made up of meetings and partings. People come into your life everyday, you say good morning, you say good evening, some stay for a few minutes, some stay for a few months, some a year, others a whole lifetime. No matter who it is, you meet and then you part. I'm so glad I met you Elizabeth Egan; I'll thank my lucky stars for that. I think I wished for you all of my life" He whispered. "But now it is time for us to part.” 
― Cecelia Ahern, If You Could See Me Now

This book suit me perfectly because it include something fantasy in their daily life. Imaginary friend is not common in my society. But I really love the idea. I really love something that far reach by hand by really close in mind. This novel teaches me about believing and trust people around us. Be open and you can see clearly what others did for you.

I highly recommended this novel for you to try. If you like me we love cartoon and fantasy, you should try read this book and you will never know maybe you will become one of the CECELIA AHERN’s fans.

XOXO,

KAZU
