Seek and Ye Shall Find!

I read this book with racing adrenaline -- started slowly, but as the story went on and on I couldn't handle my excitement.

"Seek and ye shall find"

My biased overlook on Tom Hanks' role as Robert Langdon might affect why I enjoyed all those long historical explanations throughtout the book, yes, I really think he suits the character really well. Whenever Dan Brown mentioned Langdon's physical descriptions, I think of Hanks. Vice versa. 

I really lost deeply into Dan Brown's sophisticated knowledges about history and obviously, Dante. I heard that name a lot, Dante, Dante, Dante.. The more I read the book, the more I got interested studying Dante and all his works, his poems. How his writings gave such big impacts to other human beings. How his theories inspired a lot of arts. How he gained all the appreciations for his thoughts and the way he saw the world -- or must I say.. Hell?

                    

Inferno brought me to a nightmare, I was forced to think about the terrifying over-populated world. It never even crossed my mind. From the graph bellow, we could see how the population curved, how it multiplied way much during 1000-2000 C. I know it's confusing, it gave me a second thought about the cause. The explanation given made me kinda taking the dark - villain side, once. Crazy as it sounds, I was between dillemas. Totally had no idea how Dan Brown would end this book.

Well I won't say anymore about the plot since I myself hate spoillers. My further description might bother the thrilling parts. Inferno also brought me to magnificent places -- Florence, Venice and Istanbul. Venice is a perfect metaphor choice for the over-population crisis thing. This book told a lot about the cities' historical buildings, anything related to Dante. The descriptions were beyond my expectations, they were all very detailed-written. Dan Brown must've had a very deep and toughtful research about all of these, I really am a fan. It's uh-ma-zing.

Overall, it's really my kind of book. The book I immediately wanna know how it ends but also feels sad leaving it, haha. Dan Brown guaranteed all of us surprises -- yep you'll see a lot of surprises.. Yesterday I also googled about the movie which has just started filming 6 days a go.. absolutely gonna take a long time. Rumored, it will be released on October 2016. From what I've seen, the one playing Sienna looks attractive and has beauty qualities as well as I imagined, but why didn't I see blonde hair? Isn't Sienna blonde? And the one portraying Dr. Sinskey looks fits in too, though I haven't seen her silver hair. Whatever, I'm looking forward for anything related to Inferno.

Cheers to the ancient conspiracy puzzle lover, the Mickey Mouse - watch clad professor.

The Perks of Being A Wallflower

Just watched the same-titled movie, directed by the writer itself, Stephen Chbosky. No wonder a lot of people said that the movie did so much justice to the book.

It tells a story of an introvert freshman, Charlie, facing his 'tough' high school days. Where senior rules, where  you have to sit alone in the cafetaria if you don't make friends, where your friends in middle school don't say hi anymore. Luckily, he meets Patrick and Sam. Patrick is Sam's stepbrother and viceversa, they have the same father.

Patrick - Sam - Charlie

:')

And one thing i love about The Perks is that both the book and the movie have mixtapes!

Why I Like Books

I grew up in a family with a high awareness of reading, especially my father. Dad was a bookworm, he used to read many many books. His collections of books might fill up a library! I still remembered it pretty clearly the first time Dad asked me whether I'm interested to read Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone or not. I was like,,, who is Harry Potter? Why is he riding on a broomstick? (me right now: ofc he's a Wizard and a Snitch catcher u fool).

And this book has successfully brought me to this fancy world of reading, so glad of this fact and Harry Potter is still my go-to, my all time favourite, something that can always comfort me. I never get bored reading it whenever I want. Its story, the characters, everything is just magical yet real to me. As I flip through the book I feel like I'm a part of it. It changed how i imagine things. And I'm not exaggerating anything.

Dear Joanne Kathleen Rowling. Thanks for making my childhood so wonderful! Thanks for creating Harry Potter. Thanks for saying that Hogwarts will always be there to welcome us home!!!!!!!
