jalan ceritanya lumayan seru dan bagus tapi jujur banyak part yang ngebosenin karena ga relate sm karakter2 disini tiap mrk bahas buku2 yg dibaca. lumayan banyak juga kata2 yang susah dimengerti dan ga familiar. yang paling disayangkan dari buku ini itu cara laut tau penghianatnya siapa tuh ternyata cm gitu doang JUJUR penghianatnya gampang ditebak banget kirain bakal ada part yang plot twist gitu walaupun emg naratama pas awal2 mencurigakan

dannnn menurutku kisah percintaannya laut-jani ini agak gimana gitu terus hubungan mrk kerasanya ga intens jadi ga ngefeel sama sekali buat aku. malah hubungannya laut sm adeknya alias mara yang paling bikin

This book is so beautiful. Beautifully written. Nggak terlalu banyak kalimat yang menyerukan kesedihan secara langsung tapi kesedihan yg dirasakan ttp tersampaikan.

This book drives me crazy. Like, really. My head and eyes hurt so much till now that i don't know when im gonna recover mentally.

This book has too many feelings, it's written very well that sometimes I don't want to put it down.

To Mba Leila, thank you for creating a masterpiece.
I definitely recommend this, and I believe it's really worth reading.

There are so many new things that I didn't know exists in this country and world, and yep this book really did great for that. Really left me felt so empty after reading it, and of course a good kind of empty.

Now, it's hard to read a book because my soul definitely still lingers on this book, will read more of Mba Leila's works soon of course!

Laut Bercerita

Aku tidak menyangka bahwa ‘kegelapan’ dan ‘kekelaman’ pernah benar-benar ada. Terdeskripsikan secara detail namun tetap ringan dipahami oleh aku, yang setengah tidak percaya namun akhirnya turut meneteskan air mata. Turut sedih dengan segala kekejaman yang ada.

Selain mengagumi dengan bagaimana Penulis menceritakan (tanpa kata) ttg sosok Laut yang sempurna sebagai seorang Kakak, Anak, Teman, Kekasih dan tentunya Pejuang Keadilan.
Aku juga kagum dengan bagaimana Penulis memilih diksi saat Asmara terpesona pada Alex di dapur sore itu.

Laut Bercerita, tentang harapan, perjuangan, satu langkah, dan kesunyian. Meski alur ceritanya maju mundur, sungguh tak mengurangi apapun, justru menambah campur aduk hatiku, berharap Mas Laut akan kembali, menikmati Tengkleng masakan Ibu di Minggu sore bersama vinyl The Beatles ‘Come Together’.

Mas Laut, aku tugaskan Ikan Pari untuk menemanimu, di dasar sana meski gelap tidaklah kelam.
Mas Laut tau itu.

Emosional. Turut bersimpati & berduka untuk korban & keluarga yg ditinggalkan. Tanpa pergerakan aktivis kala itu boleh jadi negeri kita masih di bawah bayang2 kediktatoran penguasa.
