It is one of the books that blown my mind. It's very well written and would probably relate with a lot of people who are in their journey to find themselves. So many people are talking about it but I did not buy it until a few months ago where I read the preview on the first pages. Easy for me to see if I want to buy the book or not. When the first pages hook me right away, I don't need to think twice. This book is one of them. This contains spoiler of course. Nora, the main character, like many of us, fall into depression and decided to kill herself. But she's not dead right away. She went into a kind of limbo between life and death. In that library she met a librarian, this librarian is a kind of a guide. Our guide that probably tasked when we were born. The librarian shows her lives that she could have had if she wants to. She is so depressed and thinks that no life will makes her happy enough to live it. I can totally understand her state. I was there....
Gambar usang peninggalan 10 tahun yg lalu, sapa yg tau akhirnya bisa menjadikan kita satu dan bertemu lagi. Seragam Merah Putih yang sudah lama kita lepaskan. Berkumpul bersama selama 6 taun tentunya bukan waktu yg singkat. Waktu itu menjadikan persahabatan polos kita terbentuk. Jika diliat-liat, semua wajah digambar itu masih menunjukkan kepolosan mereka. Yah.. Wajah yg penuh semangat bersaing dalam prestasi, intra ekstra, wajah merona krn malu ketika berpapasan dg cinta monyetnya, wajah yg menunjukkan kesetiaan pada kawan, dukungan pada kawan, hingga kebencian iseng ala anak SD dg kelas sebelah :D Waktu memang sudah lama berlalu, tapi waktu tidak akan menghapus kenangan selama bertahun-tahun itu. Ridiculous but fun. Masih teringat dibenakku, betapa wali kelas bu Anik Mahmudah sangat menyayangi kami, bagaimana beliau selalu mendukung percomblangan konyol kami. Malu-malu pada masa itu, tetapi indah dikenang untuk saat ini. Ferdi dan Krisna, mungkin menjadi sepasang sejoli ...
