After reading this book, I went on to read 'The Fault in Our Stars'. It was a really realistic book with a bit of a twist to it but of course, I don't want to be a spoiler.
And again, after these books, I went on to read others such as 'Nobody' , 'Confessions of a Murder Suspect' and 'Guitar Notes'.
If your wondering why the type of books I read are so different, its just because since I started reading, I wanted to explore many different genres of books, not just stick to a certain category. Moving on, what I really wanted to talk about was the amount of effort that Authors put into writing a book. Whenever I read a book, I always think, "Wow, the author spent so much of his/her effort just to publish his/her book. Just to get the book up on that shelf and to let others read and feel what they felt when they were writing the story." I mean, I have a lot of respect for them because its just amazing to me. To put in so much effort in a book, to think about all these kind of ideas. I feel that their passion really reached me, *not saying I like writing which I don't because I suck at writing* but I don't know. Don't you find it amazing? I mean especially if you love reading books. Isn't it fascinating that someone can come up with such a story that can make you feel all kinds of thing especially curiosity. I wonder how long do they even take to write something like that? Ever since I started reading, I realised that books are more than what you see on the cover page or what kind of story the book is trying to tell. A book is much more than that. Not only does it amaze you with such stories that you can't really imagine, but it makes you imagine that scenario in your head, it makes your creativity run wild. Other than that, it also shows you that the author probably had a certain experience in his/her life to inspire them to write such a book. A book that says so much which can also turn into an extraordinary movie. Maybe I might be thinking too much? but I don't care, just thinking about that, makes a book that may seem boring to me become fascinating.
Many people tell me some books are good and others tell me some books are bad. But in my opinion, there is no bad or good book. It just depends on how you read those books and how you see the message of the book. I won't lie, there is a book I'm reading right now which really doesn't interest me at all but it doesn't matter to me, because I will still read it til the last page. The author took so much time to write a book like that, their 'masterpiece' that has all their feelings and passion put into a single book. I feel that I want to respect those authors which is why I wouldn't ever leave a book that I bought unread. So basically, I just wanted people to know, that books are much more than what they seem. I hoped that people who love reading continue to read many more amazing books and for those people who 'hate' reading, well, its up to you if you really want to start or not. You never really know what you might come across in a book.
Thanks for reading, sorry I couldn't post in a long time, studying has become really intense nowadays... * even though nobody actually reads this blog but yeah, writing my thoughts and opinions are good enough for me :) *
