Synopsis From Back Cover :

Hidup tidak semudah yang dijangkakan. Dia tidak pernah menceritakan kepada dunia tentang pedih lukanya hidup pada zaman kanak-kanak. Tentang nostalgia silamnya yang berdarah. Tentang harga sebuah kebencian yang akhirnya menjadikan dia seorang pelarian. Betapa dia bahagia di sini... Putih salji telah menyaksikan tingginya nilai persahabatan, keikhlasan yang muncul di celah-celah kuntuman tulip segar. Dia bahagia tatkala melihat guguran daun yang memenuhi jalanan kerana pabila musim panas muncul, segala-galanya kembali nyata. Cintanya jua berputik di sini... mekar bersama musim yang silih berganti... Lantas dia alpa pada duri-duri yang menanti, pada duka dan sengsara yang cuba dihindari... pada petaka yang menjadikan dia hilang hakikat diri...

My Review :

Kisah suka-duka kehidupan seorang pemuda bernama Asnawi Bin Mohammad.Cerita ini berkembang dari kisah silam Asnawi ketika kecil dan juga ketika Asnawi belajar di Manchester,England.Ada beberapa sub-plot yang turut menyokong cerita ini.
Karya pertama John Norafizan ini sebenarnya, mempunyai plot yang menarik.
Gaya bahasa yang tidak berpuitis memudahkan saya untuk mengikut cerita ini, tetapi ada ketikanya gaya bahasa agak 'kaku' terutamanya dialog watak orang putih.Mungkin itu tujuan penulis.Beberapa peristiwa yang berlaku agak tidak logik,contohnya ketika bapa Elizabeth datang ke majlis perkahwinan Asnawi,sekali terserempak dengan Zainab,tindakannya terus balik ke Holand?Kedua, penggunaan nama yang sama -ketika Asnawi menumpangkan seorang lelaki yang bernama Muhammad Abdullah bersama tiga orang wanita dan salah seorangnya ialah Elizabeth dari rumah Mufti Javed ke Hulme dan nama Islam bapa Elizabeth Benjamin Patrick Thornston-ialah Muhammad Abdullah? Mungkin penulis terlepas pandang perkara ini.Saya benar-benar keliru tentang penggunaan nama itu.
Satu watak yang meninggalkan kesan ialah watak Zainab iaitu ibu kepada Asnawi.Watak ibu yang tidak stereotype.Watak Zainab digambarkan sebagai watak yang terlampau garang,dan penulis menggambarkan watak Zainab dalam beberapa peristiwa yang berbeza dengan ibu normal yang lain.Saya benar-benar menyampah dengan watak Zainab.
Keseluruhan,plot cerita yang menarik dengan gaya yang mudah.

tempek sini lak...
buku James Patterson yang dihabiskan masa raya

baru habis baca 1st to die dan cat and mouse

1st to die tu buku petama dalam women's murder club.. bagi aku, aku prefer siri ni daripada siri alex cross.. buku cat and mouse

sebab siri alex cross ni, ending die.. cam nak hantuk kepala kat dinding je.. mesti tergantung dengan kes baru.. ala-ala komik detektif conan. lepas tu nak kena cari buku lain lak nak sambung.. tapi saspen ya amat, dupdap dupdap

buku james patterson ni mesti ada seorang valiant yang kita dah tau dari mula mmg jahat dan seorang lagi valiant yang kita tak sangka langsung.. bestnya buku dia ni, mmg jenis unexpected...

hari tu aku tgk kat HBO filem 'kiss the girls', adaptation dari siri alex cross.. alex cross played by morgan freeman , best best best

oh ya, lagi satu.. buku lifeguard.. tu pun best sangat!

seribulan

Loh...kena sorok gak post ni

P.S. I love You by Cecelia Ahern

Cerita mengenai pompuan yg kematian suami.. suami dia tu kira best friend dia jugaklah..meninggal sebab brain tumor.
so .the stories goes that. after suami dia meninggal, she received a bunch of letter titled 'The List'..

dia kena bukak each letter bila dah masuk bulan yg tertera kat sampul..
dalam tu plak ada instruction from her deceased husband on what she supposed to do on that month and she HAVE to complete the mission.

latar belakang cerita di Ireland.

i have just finished reading this book today



Welcome to Beach Road
Tom Dunleavy has a one-man law firm in legendary East Hampton. But his job barely keeps him in paper clips. His principal clients make a living serving the rich. The billionaires and megacelebrities swarming the beaches already have lawyers on their payroll.
EXPENSIVE
Then a friend of Tom's is arrested for a triple murder near a movie star's mansion. Tom knows in his gut that Dante Halleyville is innocent. Dante asks him to represent him in what could be the Trial of the Century.
EXCLUSIVE
Tom recruits Manhattan superlawyer Kate Costello to help. She's a tough hire, because Kate is his ex-girlfriend-but she agrees. In their search to find who really executed three locals, Tom orchestrates a series of revelations to expose the killer-and what emerges is staggering.
EXPLOSIVE
The final scenes of Beach Road unveil a truth that will leave readers gasping in shock. Written with the precision that has made James Patterson America's #1 suspense writer, Beach Road is his most thrilling novel ever.

and my comment:
what you believe can be deceiving
i love this book..
it was written from many person's point of view.. really nice.. that i know i was reading this story from Tom's POV, Kate's POV.. etc etc
the murder trial was carefully structured, it was the breaking point for the whole case..

but...
it has such a shocking ending that i could not believe who actually did the murder...

a page turner at its best!

finished baca 2 buku azizi ali
penat dah baca fiction...terasa nak baca non fiction plak

Millionaire from different planet ngan satu lagi tak ingat tajuk tapi millionaires employee kot

aku rasa best gak baca buku financial nih
takdelaaa rigid sangat
walaupon kadang2 aku rasa lawak dia very laa tak lawak
tapi okay laaa...takde laa terasa cam baca buku teks kan

aku baca buku nih lepas terpengaruh dengan bod stock and economy
formula azizi very easy to use...tapi in both book mmg dia repeat formula yang sama
so nasib baik aku pinjam library

next in line
meg cabot's size 12 is not fat
ngan shopaholic and baby (adeh...baru ada masa nak baca seh...padahal dah lama dah beli)
review later2 yek

lady_nF

Shopaholic and baby

what can I say?

Kinsella can never fails to make me laugh at becky's antic
and cried too
sangat emotional part becky berpura2 in labor then confront si cruella de venetia

lady_nF

baca 3 books over the weekend
while hubby played the sim city

1. As I was passing by adibah amin
collection of article written by adibah amin during 70's.
Bila baca nih...ternampak laaa betapa masyarakat melayu dah makin berubah.
suma artikel dia pasal life masyarakat malaysia pada zaman itu laaa....
boleh nampak laaa perubahan zaman tuh2.5/5 : sbb artikel terlalu light, nothing provoking

2. Shadow Family by Miyuki Miyabe


novel penyiasatan laa...sepatutnya takleh agak sapa pembunuh...tapi maybe sebab novel nih ditranslate dari jepun ke english jadi suspen dia tak berapa jadik sangat....but still a refreshing reading laaa....

3/5 : sbb aku lama tak baca novel penyiasatan...so aku rasa agak best

3. Stigmata by Phyliss Perrydekat
cover dia tulis "intense,....passionate...earthy and lyrical"tapi rerupanya tipu
mukasurat pertama je best....last2 tak best langsung
sangat laaa ghetto cerita nihbukan nak racist...tapi penulis kulit hitam mmg tak boleh buat novel yang best
including this onetak larat nak baca sampai abis
0.5/5 : takyah baca...tak best lanhsung unless you're into black writer

My sister's keeper by Jodi Picoult



From amazon

Anna was genetically engineered to be a perfect match for hercancer-ridden older sister. Since birth, the 13-year-old has donatedplatelets, blood, her umbilical cord, and bone marrow as part of herfamily's struggle to lengthen Kate's life. Anna is now being consideredas a kidney donor in a last-ditch attempt to save her 16-year-oldsister. As this compelling story opens, Anna has hired a lawyer torepresent her in a medical emancipation suit to allow her to havecontrol over her own body. Picoult skillfully relates the ensuing dramafrom the points of view of the parents; Anna; Cambell, theself-absorbed lawyer; Julia, the court-appointed guardian ad litem; andJesse, the troubled oldest child in the family. Everyone's quandary isexplicated and each of the characters is fully developed. There seemsto be no easy answer, and readers are likely to be sympathetic to allsides of the case. This is a real page-turner and frighteninglythought-provoking. The story shows evidence of thorough research andthe unexpected twist at the end will surprise almost everyone. Thenovel does not answer many questions, but it sure raises some and willhave teens thinking about possible answers long after they havefinished the book

mula2 memang best buku nih
storytelling dia from different perspective
abang dia, mak dia, bapak dia and so on

tapi yang spoil
adalah ending dia
and im not the only one who thinks that
the ending just sooooo wrong
so merosakkan kebestan cerita nih
