The Perks of Being A Wallflower

both movie and novel are fantastic. absolute masterpiece.

I found out the trailer of the movie long time ago, and people in the comment section said that the novel is superb. I really like the trailer until it made me tear-up. so I decided to read the book before I watch the movie. I was depressed because the bookstores in Jakarta didn't have them(now they have). so I read the ebook version. but in the end I bought it online. so my novel is from Sydney. I screamed like crazy when the book finally arrived at my house.

so here's the synopsis.

it's about a teen boy named Charlie who enter the high school. he wants to "participate", like trying to make friends, going to party, etc etc. he has some kind of mental illness because he has a bad memories about his aunt Helen. he become socially awkward and rarely make friends, and in the novel her sister calls him freak.  sadly in his first day at school he only make friend with his English teacher. luckily, he meets Sam and Patrick, step-bro and sis who are really nice to Charlie since the very start they met. around them, Charlie feels comfortable and can talk many think. it's because Sam and Patrick knowledge him as their friend, or maybe best friend.

with Sam and Patrick, Charlie experience many think that he never experienced before. like partying, dating, performing in the theater, taking some kind of drugs. he's participating.

so that is the synopsis, I know that I didn't really good at making synopsis.

so anyway, I really love the novel and also the movie. the novel was so beautifully written with those poetry words. and the movie is absolutely amazing.

when I read the novel, I already know the cast for the movie. so when I read the novel I pictured them in my imagination and they are perfect. it means my imagination meets the author imagination hahaha.

they are the perfect actors to play the characters. especially the three lead characters.

omg Logan Lerman plays Charlie is the most perfect thing in the world. it's not about his looks, but Lerman plays it perfect like how awkward Charlie is. the most incredible performance of Charlie is when Sam goes to college. his panicked acting is amazing. it is impossible to not want to hug him for the entire movie. I'd love to have a little brother like him.

and for Emma Watson and Ezra Miller, they are the definition of perfection. I really love Patrick character personally, he is really funny and eccentric, despite the fact that he is gay and have a sad experience. he's charming you know. and Sam, I know definitely know why Charlie falls for her. she's beautiful(Emma all the way!), she's smart, I mean the way she talk is really smart I don't know why, she's funny but also really mature. she's the only one who can make Charlie calm I think.

I also Nina Dobrev plays as Candace, Charlie's sister. too bad the pregnant scene in the novel isn't in the movie too.

to conclude, this movie/novel are really really great.

I really want to use this movie/novel as my thesis. it's tie between Juno btw hahaha.

you guys should read or watch it! worth your time!

THG: Catching Fire

I just bought THG dvd and I remember I haven't made my Catching Fire book review, right?
you know, my THG fans' feels just comeback because I watch that movie. that feeling of me fangirling over PeeNiss is hitting me again. HOGOSH how I miss THG so much.
ok, so, you know that I haven't had Catching Fire novel, I just had the pdf. so, Yesterday I bought it in kinokuniya. it's in sale!! only 10% though but it's fine because I rarely saw it again nowadays.
Catching Fire is my favorite book through all THG series. because it's like the mix up between hunger games and mockingjay.
for you who haven't read it, I'm gonna tell you slightly about the story. so the story start with the somekind of anger from the capitol toward Katniss because her action when at the end of the hunger games causing the rebellion in some districts. Districts people think that Katniss' action could make capitol change the rule of hunger games, so they are. Katniss become the symbol of rebellion in some of the districts.
Katniss and Peeta should continue their-so-called-relationship in order to make their action is not rebellion but simply just want to be together with the one they love. but seems like everyone in districts are in the mood to do rebellion toward capitol.
The 75th Hunger Games or the quarter quell is gonna be held. and there are slightly changes in the rules.
in this quarter quell, all the victor from each district must send their victors again to become the tribute once again. so it's like best of the best games.
so since district 12 only have 3 victors of all time which are Haymitch, Katniss and Peeta, they send PeeNiss as tributes from district 12.
I don't know but if I'm Katniss I will kill myself hahaha
I almost forgot Finnick here. Finnick is such a sweetheart here in Catching Fire, and of course in Mockingjay. he's one of the tribute from district 4, and he's so nice, and sweet, and romantic, and handsome *according to the book*
the Games is nice, but more depressing i don't know why.
ok I won't tell you the whole book, so I will stop here. one thing I will tell you, the ending is soooo unpredictable. when I finished it and closed the book, my mouth kept hanging open. surprised.
but I love it! so much! must read!

p.s: SAM CALFLIN JUST CONFIRMED AS FINNICK IN CATCHING FIRE
and I totally can picture him as Finnick. looking forward <3

Hunger Games

Been awhile since the last time I wrote book review. Well after some thoughts, I think all my book/movie reviews are not actually a review, right? hahaha It's like my 'thought' about the story. Ok, so let's start this so-called-book-review.

I finish this book right after I watched the movies. In fact, I knew this novel since a loooong time ago but I didn't know that this novel is great. So it's like I ignored this. After I had known that this book turned into a movie, I was like O.O *oh God what have I done?* hahahaha I should have read this amazing novel earlier.

anyway, I read this novel like months ago but I just made the review now -___- *stupid me!*

Love the One You're With

haaaaaaayyy!!!

really long time didn't write about a book review. so, yeah now I'm back with the book review.

the title is Love the One You're With by Emily Giffin.

actually, I fell in love with emily giffin since I know that Something Borrowed the movie is based on novel wrote by emily. so, I bought this novel with expectation that this story will be great as Something Borrowed. and the answer is YES!

the story is about newlywed Ellen and Andy. they're really a happy couple. Andy is Ellen's best friend's big brother. so, yeah Andy has known Ellen for a long time before they got married. Including her relationship story with a guy named Leo, Ellen last boyfriend before Andy.

then one day, months after their marriage, Ellen meet Leo, after almost six years (if i'm not mistaken) she didn't see him. of courseeee Ellen is shock. who won't? Leo is her first true love before Andy. they was madly in love before they broke up. also, their broke up was unreasonable. it was such a sudden. 

meeting with Leo bring back many memory for Ellen. start from she first come to the city, got a job, and so on. besides, she didn't meet Leo only once, she meet him again many time because Leo ask her to be her partner in his job. Leo as a journalist, and Ellen as a photographer. the story continue with Ellen's unstable feeling. she keep asking question to herself, is she still love Leo? maybe yes, maybe no. but how about Andy? Andy loves her, and she loves Andy, too. 

find the ending soon!! read this awesome book by Emily Giffin!!

The Way We Were

ok so I just finished read this book. the title is the Way We Were. I got a recommendation from my mom, she said that this book are really popular and has a great story. So I bought it.
and my mom was right. the story is amazing. it is about a woman and a man met after more or less 20 years not seeing each other. in fact, they were a teenage lover when they were in school. they really fallen in love with each other back then. however, because of some problems they were apart. they meet again in a wedding and suddenly the memories about them coming back. they're starting to meet each other again, secretly, because the woman is already lived with a man and their children. and the man is already married.
I don't want to spoil all the story. so you better read it. READ IT!! hahahaha. because this novel is truly romantic. so fluffy and cheesy.

The Book of Tomorrow

THE BOOK OF TOMORROW!!

This novel is really awesome. I didn't know this book is going to be about so much fantasy at first. I thought it was a romance novel. but yeaaa, still there's a bit touch of romance, a little fluffy in the end. I love it.

so the story is about Tamara, a girl who just lost her father because suicide. she moved to her uncle and aunty's house in the country. there, Tamara found a diary book in a travel library. and that book is content of Tamara's tomorrow that written by Tamara herself!!! did you get my point? but Tamara is really didn't write that entry, it just there! so Tamara can know what will happen in the future.

she tried to change some things because of the book, and it help her a lot!

the story itself is about the problem in Tamara's family. between Tamara, her almost-insane-mother, her aunty Rosaleen, and her uncle (forgot the name). I HATE ROSALEEN SO DAMN MUCH HERE! she's really mean and crrrrazy!! I love the character of Tamara here, she's so awesome and lovable :)

I cried once in this story because of the meanness of Rosaleen -____- I know how Tamara's feel at that scene(?) she must be really angry and upset. me myself, I cannot not crying if I'm really angry.

so yeaaa, this novel is incredibly awesome. and I also love Weseley, Tamara's lover :3 he's so kind and care to Tamara <3

you should read this!!!

One Day

ok so here I am, making another brief review about novel I just read. the title is 'One Day'. I read the English version. 

well, the story is a little similar like Rosie Dunne. One Day is about a girl and boy who meet in July 15, 1988. so every chapter in this novel is every year but only in July 15. do you understand what I mean? every year in July 15 is always special for them. always there are special moment in July 15.

they know they love each other. but they just keep being friends until 2003 if I'm not mistaken. they get married. they live really happily. love each other more and more until 2004, Emma dies.

sad. sad. sad. sad.

why Emma must died? :( they just got together for only like 2 years -____-

Dexter is really fucked up when Emma dies. pity him :(

this book is wonderful really. not only about love but friendship, money, and job.

I give this 4 stars.

I know this is not review. it's spoiler. sorry.

Dex and Em. Em and Dex. Forever.

Rosie Dunne

ok well hello everyone. I'm online in my campus computer centre. So I'm here to give a very brief review of a novel, the title is 'ROSIE DUNNE'.

this is the very first english novel I read until its last word. fyi, I never read an english novel until the end. So I really proud of myself, finally I can finish this book. oh before I finish an english novel "Wuthering Heights". but it's not the original version, it's 5th grader version. so it's not counted.

so this novel is about two best friend. well...... very very very best friend. they are Rosie and Alex. yes. a gir and a boy. they know each other since they're five years old. they need each other, protect each other, and ........love each other.

I know there is so many story about two best friend fall in love with each other, but this story is different.

when they're 18, Alex move out to .........err I forget sorry. and Rosie is pregnant. yeah it's like twist of fate. they live their own life. Alex with his college life, and Rosie with her child. but they're not lost contact at all. they love to mail each other, even sometimes Alex love to come to Irish to visit Rosie with her baby.

the story go on with Alex married with other girl, and also Rosie married with other man. but both of them get divorce hahaha. such a coincidence.

Alex and Rosie are realize that they are fall in love with each other, but they are afraid to say it because they afraid their live as a best friend will over.

sooooooooo if you ask when they will date each other, I cannot give the spoiler of the end of this story. I'll just tell you, it needs really a long time for both of them for finally know their feeling for each other. oh my god my english suck. sorry.

all I want to say is this novel is really worth to read. really interesting and make me can't stop to keep read it. and my favorite character here is Katie, Rosie's daughter. she's cute.
