Hmmmm, to be honest, I wouldn't say I fully enjoyed the book
Gue nggak bisa bilang juga kalau misalnya gue nggak suka bukunya, it's a good book. Jujur gue juga bingung kenapa gue nggak terlalu sreg sama bukunya. Kalau dibilang it's not my cup of tea, nggak banget. Bahkan temen gue yang rekomendasiin bilang buku nya tipe buku yang bakal gue suka. Mungkin dari bahasanya, terutama karena buku ini terjemahan.

Gue suka sama alurnya.

Spoiler

Sudut pandang dibuku ini Yu-jin, si tokoh utama. Dari awal, udah dijelasin bahwa si Yu-jin ini punya epilepsi. Tapi semakin lama semakin diragukan lah si epilepsi ini, beneran punya apa kagak. Disini karakter Yu-jin bener bener dijelasin kayak gimana, gue merasa Yu-jin ini bener bener rumit sifatnya. Menurut gue sih, nggak ada yang paham sama Yu-jin dan Yu-jin nggak merasa itu masalah besar. Kalau jaman sekarang bahasanya identity crisis, tapi kalau si Yu-jin ini parah banget. Diawal gue nggak expect si Yu-jin bakal sebrutal itu, ngebunuh orang sebanyak itu ditambah lagi dia nggak sadar dan nggak punya perasaan bersalah lah ya. Gue suka hubungan kakak-beradik si Yujin dan kakak angkatnya. Mau yang angkat atau yang kandung bener bener punya sifat yang berbanding terbalik sama Yujin, ditambah lagi dua-duanya meninggal dengan cara yang cukup mengenaskan. Ending nya.. Seakan akan bilang kalau misalnya, memang Yujin itu unbeatable. Tidak terkalahkan.

It was a good book, I enjoyed it. Hebat karena [a: You-Jeong Jeong|14170512|You-Jeong Jeong|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1585523710p2/14170512.jpg] bener bener nyangkut pautin hal psikologis sebagai latar belakang dengan sesuatu yang.. bisa dibilang kejam/keji. Perasaan gue naik turun, entah gue harus merasa gimana ke si Yujin ini. Diawal gue merasa, wah apa bener bisa kayak gini? Karena gue nggak kepikiran apa beneran manusia bisa segitunya.

A curious concept. Bit trashy but enthralling enough to stick with it to the end.

Such a good book. Couldn't put it down. The ending dragged a little bit but it was still great how the author finished it??
