Read 2 times. Last read August 6, 2017 to August 10, 2017.
I have NO choice but to give it a 5. There is probably less than 3% of pages where I rush through my reading, but 97% of the plot and its characters intrigues me. The plot is ridiculous to the point that I have to close my book many, many times for me to take a breather, to take it all in before continuing with my reading. You really need to understand the mysticism of the culture and to be open to all possibilities before you read this. Otherwise you might not be able to accept what the writer tried to bring. Also, it helps that the many characters introduced in the book, their stories are divided by chapters, otherwise you might lose sight of who that person is, its connection etc. But oh my gosh, what a ludicrously beautiful book!

Saya agak terganggu dengan ungkapan ini, lebih-lebih lagi bila ia datang dari seorang lelaki. Seolah-olah meletakkan kaum perempuan ini fungsinya hanyalah sebagai pemuas nafsu lelaki sahaja, cuma terpulang mahu cara yang bagaimana; halal atau sebaliknya.

Great review, Emmy.It is indeed ridiculous, but also mesmerising.
