optimistsdaughter: Room is now finished. I did enjoy it, although I felt the second half dragged a bit and I was honestly expecting more of a shock from the plot after what everyone had been telling me. Still, a solid 4/5. (Lovely hardback edition is courtesy of my older sister)

Holy shit, this video is amazing. It’s basically a stop-motion movie showing what books in a book store do after closing! Amazing.

antheadidthat: The Fault in Our Starsby John Green  “You do not immortalize the lost by writing about them. Language buries, but does not resurrect.”  One of the most celebrated author of today releases his latest book, The Fault in Our Stars. This is about Hazel, a cancer survivor, a “side effect”. A girl, who met a fellow cancer survivor, Augustus Waters. And then all at once, the stars seems to lost its alignment. It reminds me of “A Walk to Remember” by Nicholas Sparks. Very much. And yes, it is depressing to read. As I finished the book, I just stared at the ceiling for a couple of minutes, thinking about making a real “Phalanxifor”. With a few medical jargon, indeed I quite enjoyed the book, and reminding myself that cancer boggles every health personnel. It is mind-boggling and at the same time, heart-breaking. With the knowledge of it, you just can’t stop thinking of what you can do about the disease. You wish there is a drug that really kills it. But killing the cancer cells also means killing your healthy cells. That is always the truth that you can’t totally accept. Let’s end the cancer part. So yes, the author always made me think that teenagers are geniuses. His characters are always like, they can explain every detail in life. But they’re still teenagers. Sometimes, there very own ideals breaks them. That’s what I like about the characters, because maybe, I feel what they have felt, and I nod at every dialogue they made. I read most people’s review of this as not that satisfactory. Well, I haven’t cried or anything, but I can’t stop thinking about it. I realize that you’ll never understand the person when you’re not really going through what they’ve been through. The lesson I learned. So yes, I am applauding for this book, and a little bit of depressed for the reality of life. 5/5(2/52)
