Book Review: Tenggelamnya Kapal Van der Wijck

Hi all, I just finished reading a book by a well-known Indonesian writer called Hamka entitled Tenggelamnya Kapal Van der Wijck (The Sinking of Van der Wijck). I think this is the best book that I've read so far and I really enjoyed reading this book. The language is so beautiful although the story is quite sad. I do not know whether the book is available in English or not as the original book is in Indonesian language. I tried reading the one in Indonesian language but it was quite hard to understand. So I opt for a Malaysian version by PTS that is a bit easier to understand with a list of glossary of words at the back. The book - Indonesian version  The book - Malaysian version So, if you're thinking of reading a new book; I would really recommend this book by Hamka. There's also a movie of the same title which I've still yet to watch. Hence, I can't give a review of the movie yet. Will do so once I've watched it. Poster of the movie ...

Finally after 2 months of waiting, I have the chance to watch this movie. I was attracted with the movie after watching the trailer 2 months ago. To me this movie is different from other movie plus Awal is the hero made me really want to watch it ;). But after watching it I was a bit disappointing as I expected more. Not to say that the movie was not good, it's good; maybe my expectations were too high. I really like to message that they want to deliver to the viewers, the love between humans in Islam and how everybody can change to be a better person. I've just finish reading a book entitled 'Pemilik Cintaku Setelah Allah dan Rasul' which narrates the love between people in Islamic context and how to lead a happy life after marriage (Mong, aku pun dah abes baca buku nie..hehe) . This book was recommended by a friend who also went all of the trouble to post me this book from Malaysia. Thank you so much, this book really opens up my eyes regarding lov...
