currently i am reading..

assalamualaikum  ;)



currently i’m reading The Little Women. this is the first book i borrowed as a bachelor student from my university’s library. malasnya nak pinjam buku, kina. kina tak tahu boleh pinjam buku kat library. sebab tak dapat kad matrik lagi. tak ke sengal tu? kenapa tak tanya librarian,kina?
well, back to the main story ye. if you love a good story, then look no further. Oxford children classics bring together the most unforgettable stories ever told. they’re books to treasure and return to again and again ;)
this book is about March sister. their father is away at war and the family is short of money, but these girls don’t dwell on such matters and always look on the bright side. whether it’s performing a play or getting on with day-to-day chores, the sisters can find the fun in any situation, but what fate holds in store for the girls, only time will tell.
the language is easy to understand. the kids, the fun, the air..are clearly pictured in my mind. i feel young when i’m reading this book. maybe because  i’ve been reading a serious books all the time, so when i comes to niminy piminy books, i really enjoy reading it! hehe.. ;D

ROOM
ROOM is narrated by a five-year-old called Jack, who lives in a single room with his Ma and has never been outside. An international bestseller as soon as it was published in August 2010, ROOM has been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and won the Hughes & Hughes Irish Novel of the Year and the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize (for best Canadian novel). It has also been a finalist for International Author of the Year (Galaxy National Book Awards) and the Governor General’s Award.  The American Library Association have given it an Alex Award (for an adult book with special appeal to readers 12-18). ROOM was Amazon.ca and Indigo’s Best Book of 2010, the listeners’ choice on Liveline (Ireland), and fiction winner of the Goodreads Choice Awards.

Jack and Ma live in a locked room that measures eleven foot by eleven.  When he turns five, he starts to ask questions, and his mother reveals to him that there is a world outside. Told entirely in Jack’s voice, ROOM is no horror story or tearjerker, but a celebration of resilience and the love between parent and child.

i really love this book. i can feel the warm love that Ma give to her child, Jack. it's very unfair and cruel when a man tortures them mentally. i hate the Old Nick. the world is crueler day by day. so, i give 10 stars to this book. it's worth buying it!  ;)
