Book Review - 8

Eat Pray Love
Elizabeth Gilbert


Synopsis & Opinions :
It is a wonderful book about a woman's journey to recover or re-discover herself. This is her own real story. This woman that has a good marriage, a successful career and everything people will dream of having in the United States. But she was not satisfied, her real inner soul is becoming more and more empty. She decided to get a divorce, break off from her career and go on a journey to 3 countries - Italy, India and Indonesia.
In this 3 countries, she will slowly to regain her appetite, her own self and the confidence to be in love again.
I really do not regret to even put my land my hand on this book. This is so fascinating to go on a virtual journey with her and reading how she discover her own self, I somehow discover my own self as well. She has the courage to dump everything behind her and start on a new journey on her own and that is what I envied about. Maybe one day I shall do that as well....

The Time Traveler's Wife
Audrey Niffenegger


Synopsis & Opinions:
The whole story is about two human. One male and one female. The male is named as Henry while the female is named as Clare. This story is mainly about Henry who can time travel to either the past or the future but mostly he went back to the past. They are both married couple and their love story is extraordinary than any other couple. Clare since she was six had knew who she will married and she knows everything about Henry since then. It was something amazing that you can meet your soul mate and know him inside out at the age of six. I can also say that Henry was in Clare's childhood memories and he almost with her and by her side the whole way before they were met in the future. But there is also some disadvantages for the Clare that is at around age 30+ because Henry keep time travel back to her childhood and left her alone in the house worried but she did not actually mind because that was also her best memories ever. Something sad happen in the last part. I hate that ending and it was so hurtful for Clare and their daughter Alba. This is one of the most fascinating stories that I had ever read and maybe you should try reading it also. I kind of envied Clare as she gets to know her other half quite early and have the love story started from small till the point of forever.

The Host
Stephenie Meyer

Synopsis & Opinions:
This is the 1st science friction book that I ever laid my hands on.
It is a story about some aliens intruded our earth and they think that earthling are too violent. They inserted some living things into the body of the human they called the host.....
The main character.....
the host - Melanie
the living thing - Wanderer
It is such a different experience to watch to distinct living things feel about each other and what and how they communicate and at last the love that appear....
This books is resolve around love, family and loyalty mostly.
There is such a touching scene where Wanderer wanted to sacrifice herself to give Melanie her body back but she has to leave her lover - Ian. Tears did swelled up but....
I love to watch how they both react when they both living in the same body love the same person at 1st and love 2 people at almost the end. That made me think that we human shall always appreaciate the feelings that we have in our own body naturally.....
Do not think that when feelings overwhelmed yourself and you are not in control, you are useless..

Breaking Dawn
Stephenie Meyer


Synopsis & Opnions :
Bella andEdward are both married now and they have their own child. The process of Bella conceived the child is so horrible that made me shocked in horror with the awfully detail description. and with how Bella was changed from a purely human to an immortal and what kind of life did they had is so fascinating. The presence of Volturi did made this book has its second climax and it made the readers craving for more. Its like The whole series of Twilight Saga is the special drug that will made you addicted to it when you first laid your hand on it and your hand can't help but keep flipping through the pages and feel what Bella and Edward is feeling. It is so uncredible and it really did made me feel that ahhhh!!! these books really worth my money back...and i shall keep these books forever and it will be the memory of my teenage hood.

Eclipse
Stephenie Meyer


Synopsis & Opinions:
Continuation of the love story between Bella and Edward. But too bad... they have some complications in between that Victoria is coming looking for Bella for revenge. Mate for mate thats the exact phrase that they use. She even create an vampire army that comes to destroy the whole coven of the Cullens. The Cullens now have to cooperate with their enemies the werewolfs to destroy the newborn vampire. In the mean time, Bella sort of trapped in between her feelings toward both Edward and Jacob. She really had to made a decision among both of them. At last, Jacob decided to behave good and just be as Bella's best friend and Bella had say "yes" to Edward's propose. Luckily what Bella was scared of does not happen at all but the opposite that has happen that she did not think of. I kind of hate Bella for a while when she cant say the right things to Jacob. I know that will hurt Jacob's feelings but thats very selfish of hers to let Jacob has his hope and get on when the feelings of love get even deeper and hard to back off from this triangular relationship. I know that Edward also wanted Bella to be happy but please fight for your own love please. How can he knows that Bella love him and wanted Bella to choose between him and Jacob. He even say that he will let her go with Jacob if that made Bella happy but god, he should fight for himself and trust Bella's love towards him. How coward is he do have this kind of decision cross his mind. I do not know why and what had happen to me. It is like an unbreakable curse on me. I can't finish eclipse in one or two days. I used up almost 4 days to finish that book. It seems that there is something that I cant get over in that book and i really do not know what that is. Never mind at last i finish and move on to the last book. Gosh, I really had been with Bella and Edward for too long. They made me feel so envy and maybe thats what all the hope for a guy or even a soul mate just perfectly like Edward. URGH!

New Moon
Stephenie Meyer


Synopsis & Opinions:
Too bad this time Edward had leave Bella with some of his cruel and unforgivable words :"I will made as if I've never existed"(do not know is it true as i quoted it). I find this words irritating and annoying as this is such irresponsible words. How can Edward tell this to Bella? I know is for he own good but how good will it be for her. I was also quite angry with Bella when she started seeing Jacob as a replacement for Edward. She knew it herself that she doesn't love Jacob the same as she love Edward but she still loves him i think in a different way indeed. But she manage to survive her most painful and lifeless days without Edward.....But Edward cant stand to be away from Bella and the story continues. It was such a twist that how Edward think that Bella is dead and the wrong thing flows. This is such an extraordinary experience for me to read it again. The feeling swapped me away from the reality and i really can imagine those things happen. I truly understand how Bella feels when Edward was leaving and no calls, no letters, nothing at all. The ache in the heart and the feeling of the lungs is going to burst anytime as the air is inhale. It is so hard to breathe and the feeling of emptiness in the heart and nothing can seems to filled it.

Twilight
Stephenie Meyer

Synopsis & Opinions :
This is a story written around Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen. Bella is an ordinary high school girl as you and me but Edward is really a mystery guy that is gorgeous and attractive. He is such a mystery to Bella the girl that is full with curiousity. With a lot of weird accidents, they get to know more about each other and slowly fall in love with each other without knowing at first. Edward is actually a vampire but he has his reasons to be near Bella and he has his own reasons also be away from Bella. It is very interesting to see them interactive themselves to get more information about each other. Slowly they really get bonded and have a nice and fun relationship together. I really think that Stephenie Meyer is really great with the choice of words and the creative and artistic mind of hers to written down this piece. I personally think that the flow of the whole story is so smooth and I really craved for more and can finish the book just in one day and get my hand on the other book - New Moon

P.S. I Love You
Cecelia Ahern

Synopsis & Opinions :
It is a story about a married couple Gerry and Holly. They are both very sweet and i think almost everyone envied them. I think they are the sweetest couple ever. However luck is not always on their side. Gerry died because of brain tumor. Holly on the other hand had to face the reality that Gerry is not there for her anymore and she had hard times to pick up her life again. Gerry is so a responsible husband. He did what he had promised her to write a list for her. From March till December just to help Holly to stand up and be strong in life. With this, Holly can also move on with her life and do not be sad and always shut her heart towards everyone.
I really think that Holly certainly should be ahppy that she had had this husband as her soul mate and as her friend also since high school just because not everyone will has that luck to find their soul mate or their life partner so early. Not only that, i think its also very touching for Gerry to do a list for her wife just to help her to stand up again and he really did it alone even without all his friends noticing. I really cried out when i imagine Gerry with his weak body still writing all this letter or list for her wife and he even went to the travel agency just to buy a holiday for his wife and her friends. He should not be out of bed but he still manage to do that. How touching is that. With that i really that this book is so warm, touching and full of love.
