A great book


I read a book in last May. Actually I'm getting tired of thriller and romance, so I decided to change for new genre, science fiction. Not that I don't like them, just that i'd been tired of the low quality of science fiction novels for this past few years. So, the first book I saw that attract my attention was The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger.

I have to admit, I was so caught with the book. 3 days in a row, stop only for life's necessity. No matter how i tried to rest my eyes, I can't. I just can't, I feel like drugged!!!

The Time Traveler's Wife is a story of a couple, Clare and Henry. Henry has some genetic disorder that make him to time travel and because of that Clare started to meet Henry when she was 6 years old. When she 20, she at last met the real (at the moment) Henry who has no idea who she is. She at first sort of frustrated because Henry is not the Henry that she met, for this younger version of Henry is sort of not matured?? And started there, they moving on but you guys probably want to read them so I don't want to spoil your fun... This probably some big spoiler, but I had to tell you all. Do not expect a happily ever after ending, because he died in the end. However, she keep on living for hoping to meet him again when she's probably 82 years old??<--i think. Sigh...so sad.. sound realistic, no?? It's life, sooner or later people died. Why the heck i tell you? Sigh...because I do have some regret for the ending. Anyway, do not worry. To make up, the author give her a new reason to live...

Anyway, this story really succeed on making me laugh and cry. Hate to admit,yeah..I cried, like a baby. I never for a real life reason, cried like I did. By the end, I am so tired... But I can't sleep, the words keep on spinning in my head, it's 4 a.m but I can't sleep!!!! So much for a great book, it really take my soul away!!

I heard that they make a movie's based on this book. Do I feel like watching it?? No, I maybe not. Why?? Because I don't want some stupid version of Hollywood mess with the imprinted perfect story in my head..

B00k n I....

bookworm?? i m a book lover, but i didn't like the sound of bookworm.. why don't they use more cute phrases,, maybe bookkitty?? or booktiger?? huhu..never mind.. ths topic is all about how come i love books so much.. so many people, especially my housemate been quite speculate my passion or hunger with reading. Books here include comics, novels and magazine.. [cough]...nope, i didn't read much educational books, the last 'educated' book i read is how to make everyone fall in love with you.. :))) (hvnt got experimented all the new details i read). i did wonder sometimes why i do love to read so much. i can't seem to evoke any of my families tht love books as much as i do, but we(me n my siblings; zax, fahmi n atiqah) do seem to worship comics..

I remembered the 1st english book i read is Peter Pan. A gift for 2nd place in class that was given from my class teacher, Mdm Estee Quack in Primary 3. Well, suppose Cinderella for me and Peter Pan for Azroy(top class student) but she's mistakenly gave me the Peter Pan. Well,, i do love Peter Pan more than Cinderella, cz for me Cinderella story will be more interesting if she smack her stepmum in her face. Huhu..

The first novel i read is Darkest Hour by VC Andrews. I got this book from my adopted uncle. It belongs to his late daughter, and he allowed me to take it. I was in Primary 6. I can't remember much but I do know that the book is thicker than any text books at that time.. N lots of words, no picture. But, I still read and took me a year to finish the book!! And believe me, this book ain't for a kid.. Huhu.. 18sx LOL.. The book is full with sorrow from beginning to end.. There is no happy ending,, well VC Andrews is famous for her gothic romances novels.

And since then, I'd been spend lot of time n money for novels. Now, with the existence of internet and rapidshare i can downloaded unlimited novels for my reading pleasure.. I do think it is not fair for the author, because we're supposed to buy their book cz they put lot of effort in writing them. But, I am merely a student will limited money and enourmos passion for reading.. Sorry VC Andrews, Stephanie Meyer, Cornelia Funke, Meg Cabot and all other authors out there. Who ever seen any wishing star, please tell me sooner. Cz I'm gonna wish for a castle full with books, my personal heaven :))
