I bought these books in
a bookstore’s bazaar (The reason why i really love bazaar and would always love
to drop by is they extremely cut the price off.....girl’s matter. Lol). I didn't pay my attention to its shelf at first, i
just walked randomly looking for a good book in the great number of unsold book
stacks. The shelf stand right in the corner of the bazaar, a place that couldn’t
attract any attention, no one came to touch or even took a peek on the books
there. If it wasn’t because of the crowd and because of my body kept telling me
to find a little peace, i wouldn’t be able to find these books in that untouched
area.
These books are not
that thick, for each book consist of less than 150 pages, the thinnest books
that i’ve ever read indeed. I always get doubt feeling when i read such thin
book, whether they have good content or not, how can a good story can be told
in such limited pages? But like always, i just give it a try. When i read the
summaries, it allured me to spend my money on them and bring them home right
away. But sadly these books had been forgotten and dusty for awhile, and after my
6 busy months, finally i had time to finish them all. The time when i read them
was a memorable time. word by word, scene by scene, my emotions were mixed
together; angry, sad, pity, and bunch of regret. So here’s my review, not just the
review actually but we’ll talk about the reality as well.
Parvana took a place in
Afghanistan. Once i mentioned that place i know what comes to your mind, yes it’s
all about war. These novels told us how the war has affected the children lifes
there, about how horrible it took their peaceful and happy childhood.
