Alasan untuk Tetap Hidup by Matt Haig

hopeful informative inspiring relaxing medium-paced

4.75

Buku yang amat informatif dan menggambarkan secara tepat seperti apa perasaan atau apa yang dirasakan penderita depresi atau serangan panik ketika hal yang mereka derita tersebut kembali muncul. Tidak hanya reminder kecil yang diberikan oleh penulis yang membekas di benak saya, cara penulis menceritakan jatuh bangunnya ia dalam usaha untuk sembuh juga berhasil menyandarkan saya kalau pemilihan tidak bersikap linear dan kemajuan sekecil apapun merupakan suatu hal yang membanggakan. Kemauan dan kesabaran adalah dua kunci utama untuk bisa bertahan dalam proses penyembuhan dari penyakit mental ini.

A very light graphic novel for everyone who would like to have something to read in one sit. Gambar dan cerita yang dipaparkan penulis menggemaskan, membuat pembaca turut dapat merasakan hangatnya rasa cinta antara sepasang kekasih ketika membaca buku ini.

5.0

Penulisan plot yang diambil dari sudut pandang seorang anak kecil membuat buku ini menjadi ringan untuk dibaca meskipun isinya cukup berat karena membahas tentang problematika kehidupan. Alur yang apik serta cerita yang terasa dekat dengan realita pahit di kehidupan kita membuat buku ini rasanya akan meninggalkan bekas yang mendalam untuk pembacanya. Pembaca akan diingatkan kembali betapa lugu sekaligus cerdasnya seorang anak kecil itu dan ya, terkadang apa yang orang dewasa anggap baik belum tentu baik untuk si anak yang merasakan.

When I read this book, I couldn't help but wondering when it will be finished. The premise is unique—how books were seen as sins and how people just start burning books—but the words that are used in this book aren't enjoyable enough for me to read and keep a long span of attention. I keep realizing how I zoned out in the middle of reading each paragraph, wondering what is the real meaning behind each word.

This book is probably more suitable or enjoyable for you who like philosophical talks. If you're patient enough, the story gets a bit better at the end.

It's a journal book with illustration. Better to read this book physically rather than digitally. It contains heart warming and encouraging words especially for you who currently feel stuck in life.
Love for Imperfect Things: How to Accept Yourself in a World Striving for Perfection by Haemin Sunim

A very comforting book that can make you feel like you are talking to yourself in the most gentle way. The kind of book that you will open when you feel disappointed by the reality and the world goes against your will or understandings. This book can remind you all over again how the universe works and how to accept things just the way it is because some things do happen out of your control and the only thing that you can take accountabilit  for is how you react to that or how are you going to bring yourself through that.

Reading this book remind me about just how much flaws we have as humans. On the other side, this book could teach us compassion, patient, and sincerity for there are things which are not for us and we should just accept.

Such a light-hearted and inspiring book. I don't know how to explain my feelings the moment I finished reading this book. This book somehow can be a reminder for us to fully appreciate little things in life and live to the fullest. There's no wrong in questioning stuffs. Everyone carries secrets and pain in their life and they have the right to do what they chose to do—choosing how they cope with it. There's no right nor wrong in this world. Everyone just tried to survive.

Though the plot somewhat predictable, the turns in several tremendous events successfully added enough drama to it which made the story more compelling to be read. Overall, it's a light read and page turning book.

An enjoyable book to be read if you are looking for a light mystery and thriller without plot twists. I love how intense every chapter is, the author knows how to make us feel intrigued to continue reading it in one sit. Each character was described in a way where we were expected to understand why they acted that way now. Although it has predictable plot, it is still worth the read.
