Hello guys....
This time I will discuss about one of my favorite books again, the book I will discuss this time is Dia,Tanpa Aku or Her Without Me by Esti Kinasih. The saddest teen story book I've ever read, reading this book will definitely make you cry.
Title: Dia Tanpa Aku
Author : Esti Kinasih
Year of Release : 2008
Publisher : PT. Gramedia
Pages : 280 pages
Esti Kinasih is one of my favorite writers, I have read all of her works. All the stories he makes must be good, with good writing and easy to understand, as well as an exciting storyline that is able to make the reader dissolve into the story. And one of his works is Dia, Tanpa Aku, I've been reading this book since I was in junior high school, and that's been about 10 years ago, but I've read this book until the end of the last few years, why do I say it's a good book but I'm new read it to the end in the last few years??
The reason is because the storyline is too sad, I always stop reading in chapter 6. At the end of chapter 5, a man named Ronald (who initially I thought he was the main character with a happy ending) had a tragic accident that made him unable to survive, even though at that time he wanted to visit the girl he liked for a long time to express his love, but his wish could not come true, right. That's why I can't continue reading this book, even though I've read it many times but always stop at chapter 6.
But don't worry, this book has a happy ending, Ronald's love story with a girl named Citra was continued by his younger brother, Reinald. Although initially Reinald hated Citra, because according to him his brother died because of Citra, but over time that hatred turned into love and comfort. By the way, Citra doesn't know Ronald at all, Citra is a 3rd grade junior high school girl who Ronald accidentally saw, at that time Ronald was in 2nd grade of high school. At that time, Ronald hoped that Citra would go to the same high school as him, but it turned out that Citra was in the same school and even in the same class as his younger brother, Reinald. That's why Reinald can get to know each other with Citra and have a love story.
And finally after several years since I read this book for the first time I was able to finish reading this book, I finished it. These three books are out of their fourteenth printing. This is a very good book, has a happy but sad story, because in each chapter we will definitely remember Ronald.
Alright, that's it for this time. I will show again what I did in the next post.
Thank you for reading my post and don't forget to read my other posts.
