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

“Yang paling sulit adalah menghadapi ketidakpastian. Kami tidak merasa pasti tentang lokasi kami, kami tak merasa pasti apakah kami akan bisa bertemu dengan orang tua, kawan dan keluarga kami, juga matahari, kami tak tahu pasti apakah kami akan dilepas atau dbunuh; dan kami tidak tahu secara pasti apa yang sebetulnya mereka inginkan selain meneror dan membuat jiwa kami hancur…” – Alex Perazon.

Air mata saya  bukan hanya untuk Biru Laut dan keluarganya. Tetapi untuk semua yang menghilang dan dihilangkan, semua yang telah berjuang namun tak tahu bahwa perjuangan mereka telah membuahkan  hasil.
Hasil karya luar biasa apik, personal dan amat menyentuh. Dilengkapi dengan bahasa penuturan yang indah, membuat novel ini membekas dalam di hati saya. .

Good book gives you answer. Great book leaves you with many questions when you finish it. This book is the latter. I simply read the book because many people said it is good but damn it exceeds my expectation.

What I want to do after reading Laut Bercerita:
- Reading more indonesian literature, especially with historical background
- Reading biographies of Indonesia's political figure
- Be less apathetic with my political right, knowing this is what Laut and his friends fought for

PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS BOOOK EVEN IT IS GONNA BE THE ONLY BOOK YOU READ IN YEARS.
