Come to the first post in 2015, I would like to share with you guys a good book.
ELEANOR & PARK by Rainbow Rowell
Worth reading: ★★★★★★★★★★ (9.5/10)
Reason: OH-MAI-GAWD, it is simply GOOD! The story. The vocabs. The characters. Just GOOD!
This is my first book in 2015.
And my second book by Rainbow Rowell.
It is an Amazing book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to bff Fiona for buying this for me as my 22nd birthday gift. =D
and Thanks to the government for extending our school holidays, hence I got extra time to read.
It feels really good to complete it before my new semester starts.
This book is really really good.!
It is a sweet love story between an Irish-Korean guy Park and a red hair girl Eleanor.
They come from totally different family.
Park's family is sweet. His parents kiss each other every time.
But Eleanor's family is terrible!
For me she is pity 'coz her parents divorced and each marriage a new person. She follows her mom but her stepfather is a very violent and chauvinistic man. Eleanor and her siblings have to eat and take bath before her stepfather comes back home. They just have to stay at home obediently 'coz the crazy man is crazy and get anger easily. And when he gets drunk, he will scold or abuse his wife. All in all, he is a very very bad man he is a monster! I hate him!
The story of Eleanor and Park get started when they sit next to each other on the school bus.
They never talk in the bus and one day Park lends her comic books and slowly they share the headphone, listening to the same song and discuss about it.
And yea, that is how love blossoms.
Park's mom doesn't like Eleanor at first. She heard some rumors about her family.
But after she realizes the situation that Eleanor stuck in, she accepts her.
The part of Park's mom helps Eleanor to set her hair and make up is just funny.
There are a lot of sweet and romantic parts in this book.
I especially like the part when Eleanor first calls Park.
That part is so cute!
But I hate it when the two of them get into quarrel due to some small things.
For example they quarrel when Eleanor knows that Park's ex is Tina (a girl who Eleanor dislikes). And also when Park fights with Steve to protect Eleanor but Eleanor doesn't need it and she thinks that he fights to save his own face and they argue over it.
I personally think that it is because Eleanor is an emotional girl. She thinks too much and not really confident about her relationship with Park.
Oops, there is another part which I like so much!
The adventurous journey at the last part of the story.
Park drives the truck to drive Eleanor away from her horrible stepfather.
I felt warm that Park's dad agree to let him drive Eleanor away from the town and promise to help. Park's dad is such a nice man!
Speaking of the adventurous incident, I can imagine the whole scene you know!
Back to home at midnight after seeing Park and finds that everything in her room is in a mess and immediately escapes from the house and tries to run away to avoid her horrible stepfather and......
The reason and the result? You gotta read the book yourself 'coz I'm not going to tell. XD
What I could say is I couldn't put down my book while reading this part 'coz it is so thrilling!
The words and sentences all turn into animation in my mind. So lively and vivid.
I feel like I am the one being chased by a monster! Whoo.
If I were asked to comment about this book for what I don't like, erm...
I think I will hope that the author describes more about Eleanor's family after Eleanor leaves.
I don't want the 'Everybody says they're gone. The whole family.' and 'He wasnt dead. But he wasn't getting up.' to be the answer.
I want to know more about them.
Besides, I don't understand why Eleanor refuses to write a letter or phone a call to Park.
'Just three words long.' is all written by Eleanor in the postcard for Park after one year, but hey that is not enough la! *roooaaaarrrr*
I want to see them being together!
I want to see Eleanor's dad turns over a new leaf and she manages to tell the whole family she is in love with Park. I want to see Eleanor be able to mix well with her friends.
Well, I just hope there would be a 'Eleanor & Park II' to tell me about them being together!!!
For the very first time I hope to read a sequel to a book. X-)
So I guess you guys know how much I love about this book huh!
My mind is kinda empty now after I finish reading this book.
This only happens after I finish watching a drama normally. But this feeling coming to me after a book!
This book is really impressive!
You guys should really borrow this book from me or pick it up at any bookstore and read it.
But be prepared with a not-so-good-and-sad ending. =P
PS:
Before I forget, I would like to tell that I am listening to Aaron Yan's song 《台北沉睡了》 while reading this book and I found the lyrics match Park's feeling so well.
“ 妳或许来过 像一场烟火
燃烧过我的瞳孔 然后狠狠坠落
最美时刻台北沉睡了 浪漫没风声
能找谁证明存在过
我真的爱过 如果妳问我
否则我不会一直感受失去什么
多想今夜台北沉睡了 故事有下落
把妳抱在我怀中 不准再错过 ”
Eleanor is like a spark of fireworks which come across his eyes and disappear.
She is gone then, no letter, no phone call, nothing. He has nothing to prove that she comes across his life before. And he really loves her and he would like to hear from her again, hug her again.
If I were Park, I think I will cry listening to this lol
I am really glad that I read this book before holiday ends coz it is so lovely so adorable. Aww :"(
By the way, I have joined 2015 reading challenge in Goodreads.
Okaylah, I know 8 is not a big challenge.
But I just don't want to set a big target that I couldn't accomplish and end up disappoint me.
So 8 would be an achievable number. Thus I hope I can complete this challenge by the end of this year. Please!
7 to go.
Jiayou!!
I think this post is long enough for today. So, Ciao.
