Quidditch Through the Ages by J.K. Rowling, Kennilworthy Whisp

informative lighthearted medium-paced

3.5

I feel like I'm listening to a tv news for three hours straight. Plenty much addition in the audiobook which the physical book doesn't have. If you're a quidditch mania, you should try to listen to the audiobook for better experience. If you're not really a fan of quidditch like me, stick to the physical book is better because it takes you less reading time

I listened to the audiobook, and i very much adore how it has sound effects that suit each magical animals: their voices, their habitats, etc. I think it gives new experiences the physical book couldn't give you

*P.S. Eddie Redmayne's voice is very soothing and gave me calming effect when I'm listening to the book

I listened to the audiobook, and i like how the sound effects match the story very well. I also like the placement of dumbledore's notes after each story, i think that makes the stories more alive. My favourite is The Tale of The Three Brothers (not surprising of course), but i also like Babbity Rabbity and her Cackling Stump

Suka dengan permainan kata dan gaya penulisannya. Menceritakan tentang Mariah yang harus merasakan kejamnya kehidupan karena satu fitnah keji yang tak dapat termaafkan. Pada akhirnya, semua berjalan sesuai dengan kehendak takdir

Salah satu buku psychological thriller Indonesia yang jalan ceritanya unik dan terasa mendebarkan. Saya suka dengan cara penulis dalam menerapkan permainan psikologi pada tiap karakter di buku ini.

Pada bagian awal buku, sedikit terasa membosankan dan seakan tiap babnya tidak saling memiliki keterkaitan. Namun, lambat laun, sejalan dengan cerita, semakin dapat dipahamilah benang merah antara seluruh tokoh yang telah disebutkan.

Akhir ceritanya cukup open ending dan menggantung sehingga menbuat saya merasa kurang sreg, tetapi saya tetap menyukai buku ini.

<blockquote> We can never truly see into the hearts of others. When people get lost in their own worries, they can be blind to the feelings of those most important to them. </blockquote>

a very heartwarming stories to read. the kind of story that could read in one sitting and make you stop reading for a second to reflect what's written.

i personally like the first book more but i also like this one too
