the devil and miss prym

i've finished reading this book. a great book i could say, by a great author of course. tragically for me, this book actually concludes the trilogy And On The Seventh Day. The first two book inside this trilogy are By the river Pierda I sat down and wept and Veronika Decides to Die. fortunately Lokman has the first one, memang gua kena pinjam la kan!

ok, lets get back to this book..

as i haven't read the first two of the trilogy, i didn't know whether the three of them has anything in simmilar, but as i read on some of the book review, all of the three books has different story with different places and people.

as for this book, it deals with the view of life, religion and human nature. most part of it talk about how we, as a human will always has a good and evil side inside of us. and it's just a matter of controlling them, of these opposing poles inside of us, so that none of our action is evil. that eventhough these two forces keep battling inside ourself and we could do nothing to extinguish any of them completely, but we're capable of weighing which side we want ours to be. we are capable of making that decision and turn it into action. because the weight we're putting on any side we're on will be the weight of ours as well.

Good or Evil...

Angels or Demons...

there're things we couldn't control inside, but we certainly we could control our actions. unless we're mentally ill of course.

one other things which are significant in this book is how we accept changes in our lives. sometimes we're too afraid of changes that we hold back everything we believe in so that everything wouldn't get off the track of normalities. but sometimes, when we least expected, there're changes to be made, or has been made, and we have to be ready for that, as life does not look back.

so be ready my friend..

this is one of my favourite quote inside this book:

"..they seek suffering in the most joyous of places because they think they're unworthy of happiness."

i've just started reading nick hornby's fever pitch just now and there's an expired bus ticket from melaka to seremban.

hey, i'm reading one book per week. luckily i'm bringing home 3 novels to read, unless i'll left out the last week of my holiday doing nothing significant.
