Another addition to my Reading List

Yep, just a few weeks passed, another 2 new addition successfully logged into my list.  One of them is already discussed/summarised in my other blog, so no need to be redundant here.  But, maybe a glance on the cover is nice.  Who knows, it is possible to judge the book from its cover?  :))

So, here it is, one of Dan Brown's 'creation', a fiction that thrilled, and chilled me to the bone.  Angels & Demons.

And, a real deviation from my usual reading list, a book, a novel in Bahasa Malaysia and I actually purchased it.  

Surprised?!  Don't be.  Just read the title, and that very simple yet attractive cover.  I guess I did judge the book by its cover.  The author is a student (still), 22 years old.  Very young, and yet very talented.  A glance through the pages enough for me to tell her style is very much like Sophie Kinsella, Malay version.

Just like the title, this book is about a 'tomboy', going through a challenging life.  She was quite rich, a Datuk's daughter.  She was very cute @ beautiful (if she dress and behave like a woman) though her tomboyish appearance made her look more like a very cute yet handsome boy.

Few women fell in love with her, but her inside was still a pure, feminine woman, who craves to love and be loved by a real man.  So, a little bit of crisis, drama, romance, friendship, all blended in a light tone, a quite interesting story.  The only downturn was that there were few places where the writer's lack of idea, or maybe amateurism, shown quite obviously.  What can you expect from a very young writer?  Need to give her the opportunity, and room to grow.  Still, it's a nice read. That's what I can say about the book.

For a more clearer 'picture', just read it yourself, ok?

Have a nice read.
