The Fault In Our Stars

Hello there readers .long time no see,right?? well sorry for that .we are very busy right now as the final examination getting closer and closer.

First of all, how was your day? good then. lets get started. Have you guys watch the movie The Fault In Our Star? well it is interesting though.Romantic.Passionate and can make you cries ( Yeah guys do cry mate. :D )

so our book review for today is.... (Drum rolling )  The Fault in Our Star by John Green.

So here's the story. A cancer girl meets hot boy. Hot boy and cancer girl fall in teenage love and go on adventures to Amsterdam together. Cancer girl is disappointed by her meeting with the author whom she idolizes. Cancer girl and hot boy admit their love to each other and have physical relations. But in the end, cancer girl lives while hot boy dies. The end.

What? How could that boy is the one who dies? Nonsense! Well don't worry about it. I'll explain it.

Hazel Grace, average teenager except for the fact that she's got a cancer inside her body and her lungs not working well.Attending Support Group a new boy catches her eye which is Augustus .Hazel shares her favorite book, An Imperial Affliction, with Augustus, and together they obsess about the unsolved ending. Augustus manages to somehow get through to the author and when Hazel emails him, he invites her to come to Amsterdam to discuss the ending of the book. A fan's dream come true. Yeay!!

So Augustus surprises Hazel by telling her that he still has his wish (the "Wish" that they grant to dying children) from when he had cancer and lost his leg, and he'd happily use it to take her to Amsterdam to meet Peter Van Houten, the author of An Imperial Affliction. Wow.. How romantic it was!!. Hazel are very excited with that., but first she has to convince her hovering, worried parents and her skeptical doctors.

Eventually, they manage to get their trip in order and take together with Hazel's mother (Well incase of anything happened). But when they meet Peter Van Houten, it doesn't exactly go as planned.He doesn't answer any of Hazel's questions. Hazel is angry and upset. Lidewij, the assistant of Van Houten fell sorry for them and takes her and Augustus out to explore Amsterdam. They see Anne Frank's house, Hazel had to climb the stair , but then it was redeemed because she and Augustus finally kiss. Ohh yeahh!! Then they go back to the hotel room and even steamier things happen. Oopss!! Explicit content.

Augustus cancer has returned, and it was very, very bad. When they return to Indianapolis, it's clear that Augustus's health is critical and he might not have much time left. In a heartbreaking scene, Hazel and Isaac even share the eulogies that they wrote for him. Throughout it all, Hazel is there with Augustus, until the very end.

When he dies, Hazel is shocked and filled with grief. At his funeral, though, she gives a different eulogy than the one she had written him. Why? Well, she realizes that she needs to deliver something that's tailored to his parents, well because they are the one who are suffering at that time. (Augustus is already R.I.P)

At the funeral, she's shocked to see that Peter Van Houten is there. She talks to him and realizes that he wrote An Imperial Affliction because he had a daughter who died of cancer. She's no closer to liking Van Houten as a person, but she understands a little more why he's so tortured and crotchety. She also learns from Isaac that Augustus was writing something for her before he died. She proceeds to go on a kind of crazy search for what he's written, which she thinks might be the alternate ending to An Imperial Affliction that she wanted so badly. She also learns that her mother is taking classes to become a Support Group leader, and is relieved that there will be life for her parents after she dies.

At the very end, she learns from Lidewij that Augustus wrote her an eulogy that he sent to Van Houten.The eulogy states that he hopes that she's happy with the choices she made.

Hazel says that yes, she is happy.

The END.

Oh, how sad . .  :'( . it indeed was a very good book to read. very, very, very famous story ,. (well especially for girl, i am not sure if guys do enjoy love and romantic theme ) .Overall,it is 9/10 from me .Yeah guys do read this book . especially for those who are in a relationship right now, you can learn the meaning of true love by this novel. 

till we meet again later, see yaa  :D

The Five People You Meet In Heaven

Hi peeps..

It has been quite a long time since my last post.. hehe

Probably I was too busy with my assignments (i think so)

Ok, so today I would like to share on another novel, which is THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN by Mitch Albom, that might get into your reading-list as this novel had attracted my attention as well.. 

OK, here's the cover page of the novel that I'm gonna talk about on this post of mine. It kinda simple, but believe me, the story gonna catch your attention until You cannot afford to put it down before finish reading it. Serious talk.

So, how was your first impression of this book? Lame? Boring? Uninteresting? or it did caught your attention? well, you kinda right. The cover didn't catch my attention also at first, but I still do read this book. Well, my decision was right. Wanna know why ? so here's a little bit about this book:

Ok, for the early stage of the story, the writer more likely to introduce the main character of the novel, which is The Committed Eddie. He is such a committed, strong, and determined person who was dreaming on joining the national army service. With his great combat skills and his strength inside him, he was a perfect candidate for that. In short, he has all the things that girls adore to. Long story shorted, Eddie managed to join the army although his father was disagree with his decision. For me, his father was a scam as all he know to do are gambling and get drunk. he never care about his children. He thought his children by using the harsh way, hitting, scolding, and all of the other harsh thing. During the WWII, Eddie, along with some of his team members including their captain, was captured by the enemy side and forced to work at the coal mine as war prisoners in Phillippines. After a long time being there, they managed to escape the most unbearable moment of their life after a great encounter with the enemy. Unfortunately, Eddie turned to a handicapped person and was retired as an army due to that incident. What a horrible way to end their suffer there.

Since then, Eddie was trapped at his old, gloomy, and lame neighborhood due to his disabilities, turned into a hopeless person. After his farther died, Eddie has to replace his father position at a theme park known as Ruby Pier as a head technician. Since then, Eddie’s life ‘trapped’ there, fixing rides at the amusement park until on his 83^rd birthday. A very tragic accident occurred at Ruby Pier and Eddie died trying to save a girl from a falling cart.  With his final breath, he feels two small hands in his, and then nothing. He awakens in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a lush Garden of Eden, but a place where your earthly life is explained to you by five people who were in it. These people may have been loved ones or distant strangers. Yet each of them changed your path forever. Wanna know who the five people that Eddie met in heaven? The Blue Man, his Captain, the owner of the amusement park, Ruby; the person he loved the most, His Wife; and lastly, The kid named Tala. Wanna know more abou the story ? Well for sure you need to go grab that book and read it.

After you read this novel, you could see how the author elaborate the storyline of the main character of the novel from a very optimist person in life into a hopeless person. It is a very interesting story as the author implemented different types of settings during Eddie`s meeting with the peoples in the heaven. All of his life events were played back to him like a movie replay. It is so different from the other novels that I have read.

This book is a good read that many of you will enjoy. The next time you’re at the bookstore or library pick it up. It certainly will make you think about your life in a new way.

Before i end this post, here is my rating for this book: 8/10

I think that`s all from us for now and enjoy reading this novel! Do visit our blog again to read for more novels review.

Assassin's Creed : Black Flag

ASSASSIN'S CREED 4 BLACKFLAG!!!

I think this story is the best story that i have ever read in my entire life because this story originated from the video game.. of course i played the video game first before reading the book.. the main theme of this story is about pirates, assassins and templars.. you have never heard about templars, don't you?

ok so this is the cover page of the book.. just a simple book actually... hehe

Author

so basically, about the author, the name is Oliver Bowden..

 i don't want to talk much about the author..because.. yeah. its not interesting.. he is an assassin maniac ... thats all.. hehe

the author had made a few book of assassins creed before which is assassins creed 1,2, and 3. blackflag is the fourth.

and he also already made the fifth assassins creed which is the fifth one, named assassins creed unity.

i cannot wait to read that one though.. because i cannot wait for the next story. 

Summary of the book

this is the summary that i understand, so i think the story that i tell will be a little bit different with the actual story.. because this is the story that i understand.

the story is about a man, named Edward Kenway. At the beginning he wanted to became a privateer, who works not for the government. this is because if he work for them his wage would be very small. So he choose to work alone in the seas. Then, during his work, he went across with a man, named Duncan Walpole. Duncan Walpole was on his way to Havana, a place in Spain.

then, Edward Kenway took Duncan's identity to meet the templars, and then he know about the Observatory..

On his way to find the observatory he meet with a lot of obstacles. he killed many of his enemies with the skill of being an assassin.

he thought that the observatory can bring many good things like wealth and fun.. but instead, he was wrong.. the observatory was only an item to see at distant places. a tool to be used by the people to stalk and see on everyone's secrets..

so during the gameplay i was like very curious what was the observatory actually means..
at last Edward finally get the observatory and the head of assassin keep it in a safe place.

at the ending of the story Edward settles to know that he has a daughter and later he have another child, name Haytam. It is how the story ends..

Moral Values

throughout this story, there are many moral values that i can get. this includes;

1. we should not betray our own friend.

2. we should never be afraid of doing something that is right

3. we should always take care of those we love.

4. we should be very careful in everything we do.

5. we must forgive those who did wrong to us.

well i think that is all about the moral values.. 

My Rating of this book

I rate this book 9.5/10.. quite high isn't it? well.. what are you guys waiting for? Hurry up and go to the bookstore to buy this book..!!! hehe.. ok .. 

My recommendation

i hope that when you, our readers, read this, we hope that you have interest to read this book.. it is a very special book for those who love adventurous story like me. so what are you guys waiting for? go and grab the book at local bookstore. it is very cheap anyways... Thanks for updating yourself in our blog by the way.. See you guys next time..!!!!  :):)

now.. this is the video of the gameplay of the assassins creed gameplay..

so you can choose either to play the game or to read.. but .. if you want to get the best experience, I suggest you to do both; read, and play.
