Review ++ : Parvana by Deborah Ellis

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.

Review - Cara Gaul Kuasai Grammar inggris by Yusup Priyasudiarja

first, i want to tell about my experiences in learning english, so my review will give big points why am i so in love with this book.

i was struggling to study english for years, i had taken many courses before but the progress just too little. When i was in the third year of my high school life, i took a holiday course for a month at an english course in PU alley Bandar Lampung, but sadly i forget the name. it was kind of good english course, but i didn't continue to the regular class because i decided to take the regular one at Lia Lampung (at that time i took an english for adult class). My first class was second elementary, and i stayed till first Intermediate. but i had no great progress there, so i stoped (beside i was going to my university in Palembang). When i was in college, i took an english conversation class in Lia Palembang (all i knew about good english course just Lia). Just like before, my first class was second elementary, but didn't stay long untill the third one. my reasons were the place just too far from my dorm (Indralaya) and i didn't satisfied with the result. at that time i was still confuse how to comunicate in english, didn't know how to make a sentence in proper grammar etc.
