BOOKSHELF: PAPER TOWNS

Paper Towns spends a lot of its time reinforcing the idea that people aren't how we imagine them. They're generally idealized or demonized versions that our minds squeeze into little paper boxes that don't fully fit. 

When I first started reading the book, I thought it was simply genius. Margo drags Quentin around all night long, carrying out Margo's very well planned out steps to revenge and forgiveness to her closest frenemies. This part of the story is a lot of fun. Some parts are weird, and others very creative. You can't help but wish you had come up with some of it. 

Then Margo disappears, and the direction of the story changes. It is less fun, and at times frustrating. Quentin is following clues to try and find Margo, who either doesn't want to be found, or has possibly killed herself. Quentin's friends are thinking about prom and graduation, which aren't high on Quentin's list of priorities. After prom, the day of graduation, Quentin and his friends go on a road trip to find Margo, which brings the story back up to the level of fun that it started out with, and then ends with a non-Disney ending, that isn't necessarily bad, it is just more meaningful than happy.

John Green has done it again. He has written another novel about a young man who can’t understand the girl he loves. He has developed characters that you’ll want to know more about as you get deeper and deeper into the story. It will leave you wondering even after you finish. 

THE FAULT IN OUR STARS : MOVIE & BOOK

The book was kinda late came to my country and repeating history, the movie was also 2 weeks late :| 

Lucky me, I'm in the middle of KKN (Kuliah Kerja Nyata) and been away from home since last week so I just watched it yesterday. Even though this post kinda late - out of date - but I want to share! 

So, I spent a lot of time checking my watch while waiting for the theater door open. I've been waiting this movie since the first time I read the book! 

Keep reading if you want to know my thoughts about both of movie & book, or please feel to close your tab if you haven't watch the movie yet because this post maybe contains spoiler ;) 

OKAY?

BOOK REVIEW: The Fault In Our Stars

As long as i remember, i started reading a fiction since i was a little girl, about 5 years old. My first book is Snow White (my obsession is to be a Princess!!!!) Sejak itu aku addict banget sama yang namanya baca. Apapun aku baca - which is aku bisa baca sejak umur 4 tahun - mulai dari langganan majalah Bobo, selalu nagih dibeliin buku cerita ke orang tua. Dan sampai sekarang aku usahakan minimal satu bulan sekali aku beli novel atau self-help genre.

The Fault In Our Stars

Aku udah denger buku ini sejak lama, since last year. Tapi sayangnya masuk ke Indonesia itu lama banget dan setiap aku ke toko buku, sold out. Sampai akhirnya, aku pesan ke Books & Beyond. 2 months later, I got a phone, told my book was arrived. 

I was sooo excited!!! After finish my classes that day, aku langsung pergi ke B&B di Istana Plaza, cabang yg paling dekat sama kampusku.
