告白

I have posted about the movie, now the book :D YESH~ i found the book and bought it! The plot is pretty much the same as the movie, just some details different. Personally i like both the books and the movie equally. The book went in more detail, filled up anything u miss or don't understand from the movie (or not told by the movies)

告白 Confession have a lot of meanings, depend on how u use it. This book is about confession of the truth about certain incident, the dark side of the people, 很真的一本书,描述着角色们拿下虚伪的面具,告知读者他们真实的感觉。 真的是和透彻的展现了人完完善,也无完恶的道理。

说真的当伦理和正义分歧时,你该选哪一边?

真的是很好的一本书,很久没读到这么好的推理型小说

House of Many Ways


The sequel to Howl's Moving castle, but the story central on Charmain Baker (new character). Sophie still an important character, as well as Calcifer, Howl who disguise himself as Twinkle, oh and they have a son, Morgan :D

Favorite part is when Morgan, Calcifer and Twinkle show up :P Love the dialogue between Sophie and Howl. Love the book! If you love Howl's, u would love this as well hehe~

我十岁,离婚

《Moi Nojoud, 10 ans, divorcee》是一本关于中东国家童婚真实故事,故事里的主人翁Nojoud10岁就被父亲逼迫辍学,与大她30岁的男人结婚。因为不堪被她丈夫性虐待,逃去法院并向法官提出离婚的要求。最后在律师的协助下成功离婚,成为了最年轻的离婚者,同时也迎来世界人们对童婚问题的重视。

这书是我哥哥的,偶然逛public看到买的,不过这家印刷公司不给力,很难才找到一本封面的字没有印模糊的。新年那时想看,每次一开始看就有人来找我,妈妈叫我做事之类的T_T 今天终于把它看完了!!

蛮不错的一本书,简述小女孩只想要过简单,普通的童年生活却被环境,和思想扭曲的‘大人’ 所逼而失去了拥有这简单的幸福,但是她并不像现实屈服,努力的为自己争取自己该有的童年,同时给了很多和她有相同勇气去站起来,摆脱不幸的命运。书中强调着不要抱着对中东文化还是回教的偏见来看待这是故事,把这故事当作是扩展知识的好题材,明白在世界某一角落有这么一个悲剧,别因为自己活在幸福里,而无视别人的不幸,and be ignorance!

泡沫之夏

Exam is a week away, haven't pick up the mood to study 'spartan style', really need that in order to make sure i get through this...

Anyhow, no mood study = will sort of surf here and there, and then i saw this 泡沫之夏. Wah~ i read about that they gonna make drama on this few years back when i was waiting for the third aka last book for this novel. My thought still the same, won't watch or even if i watch i probably don't have the patient to watch it till the end. Nevertheless the name still attract me to click in to see the trailer and stuff haha~

泡沫之夏 was one of the first romance novel that i read. Honestly, am very slow in stuff relate to love or relationship, i almost never thought about it despite watching so many drama and movies. Love was an alien back then hahaha which kinda explain why in my teenage life i gila stuff like ghost story, crime novel, sci fi novels, movies and game. I watched love drama like winter sonata but i never think of relationship at all, dunno what am i so busy or so occupied with back then.

It was the boring life in NZ and the new people i met asked that make me start thinking about the fact i never think about going into a relationship with someone. But even that, the fact am single and still busy and occupied with stuff now shown i still don't really think much about it... oh well, it really require the right timing, right person, right feeling for the chemistry to happen... as for why am i so busy and occupied? i seriously dunno, my day just gone in a flash without doing much... like read novel, read manga, write assignment, do homework, play FB, watch anime/movie/drama, go out with friends, go grocery shopping, uni ... a day just gone like that....

Anyhow back to topic, i said it's one of the first romance book i read cos i buy several books at that time (first time go buy edi buy few books in a go hehe~) so i don't remember i read which one first~ didn't realize this book gonna have a sequel so i fall in that trap and end up have to read all. (am one of those must see the ending sort of person, i start up a book, if interested i will continue read and i must know the ending or i will keep think or dream about it once in a while) But then also thanks to that few books, i end up addict to novel, which lead me to find out i can read them free online!! haha but sort of hard to find lah those kind of website, esp good book + popular website usually need u to be their VIP member or they don't have ending there. My personality, cannot tahan that! Now probably not easy to find a website that let u free reading all 3 books of 泡沫之夏. Probably lock the climax in the VIP area. Can go google if u interest in reading it. Beware of china website though, cincai click will bring in a lot of ad-ware to your pc.

Now i read variety novel, but the most i read is love romance story cos i can finish one up first (in holiday i can finish 4-5 books a day) and they don't make me think. Crime/sci-fi/mystery story make me think, some time even make me go google up history and stuff on the event or person mention. Research for my assignment pun tak ada as passionate as that. Which also why i read them more slowly and less often. They are also harder to find free one online. Romance story got tones of free website for that and since i only read Chinese romance one, even easier. English book got better copyright protection... After i start 泡沫之夏, for a while i read a lot of youth romance story, plot and setting all so similar but still can dream dream and read happy happy. Now am sien with them already hahaha one big factor that cause that is 17/19 years old are very far away from me now. Spoil my dream bubble if i come back to reality plus am one of those when like it very much will read/do tones of that thing until i sien with it. Just like how i sien with ghost story back then. (or the Bookworm series, Famous 5, Nancy dew etc) Keluar topic again~

泡沫之夏 is a triangle love story between a girl who is an orphans with 2 boys, one of them also an orphans and was adopted into the family that adopt the girl and her brother. The other boy is the successor of a giant group. sort of like a noble too the family, well respected and rich + good genes aka good look lah. Umm... the whole setting well u know just the fact darn good look edi very not realistic haha good looking some more + talented then really... Which is why it's best remain in novel/comic. Having a real human version always spoil my dream hahaha i already have a blur imagination of the character living in me, seeing real people acting them spoil that imagination. Just like how twilight + it's sequel spoil my Bella and Edward hahaha~ so am not watching and not comparing for my own happy imagination sake nah, tak payah spoil my dream that i had at my 18. Nevertheless if you wanna watch it, it should be okay cos the girl eventually end up become an artist and so is the boy (the one who also the orphans). The boy become a big star edi while the girl still gambate, in the progress will involve a lot of other 'artist' which is why they would pick a lot of not bad looking males and females into the drama.

Also as the character are singers and actor in the drama, it's 剧中有另一场剧 (drama inside a drama) kinda feel, taiwan people way of speaking cannot bring me into that drama inside a drama as much as china, hong kong and western one. Even when watching the actual drama i can feel the 'it's an act' kinda feel edi, it don't touch me in my soul as much as other. The only time when taiwan drama become enjoyable to me is when there's old actor inside who speak well or when they incorporate some dialect. This drama original novel is written by China people if no mistake and character all so dreamy dialect will spoil it doubt they incorporate that in.... so even not tempting.... (i know not tempting but write so much~) I like the novel. Dunno if i just read it now would i like it that much as u know how when ur heart feel different, things feels different too. But i read it when my heart love this sort of story so i remain Liking this. The book i only owned the first vol which the cover is the image below, the other 2 book i discover the wonder of free novel website hahaha, 3rd one esp i read it when the author began posting up on the web for limited time that moment, so i read the free not perfect edit version (ie got some word error, typo etc)
