Cinta Puaka Simpang Empat (‘ Shibito no Koiwazurai ’) Oleh Junji Ito 404 halaman Edisi terjemahan Bahasa Malaysia diterbitkan oleh Anjung Taipan Sdn. Bhd. (2015) Sebagai peniaga buku-buku terpakai, aku pernah beberapa kali mendapati manga-manga Junji Ito dalam stok barangan yang diperolehi. Dan berdasarkan pengalaman aku menjual buku karya Junji Ito, aku tahu manga-manga beliau laris bagaikan pisang goreng panas. Namun sebelum ini, aku tidak pernah terbuka hati pun untuk membaca mana-mana karya beliau kerana takut untuk membaca kisah seram. Sehinggalah baru-baru ini aku berjaya memperoleh manga Junji Ito lagi, yang bertajuk Cinta Puaka Simpang Empat . Mindaku penuh persoalan, apakah yang menarik mengenai karya Junji Ito sehingga karyanya begitu diminati ramai? Akhirnya aku mengambil keputusan untuk membaca manga ini terlebih dahulu sebelum aku menjualnya. Cinta Puaka Simpang Empat mengandungi beberapa buah cerita; kisah utama berkisar tentang puaka “ Jejaka Kacak Simpang Empat ” yang

Standoff By Sandra Brown 261 pages Published by Warner Books (2001) Believe it or not, more than ninety percent of this novel took place within the span of less than 24 hours. Only the final chapter contained a scene from a later time. And even more remarkable was the fact that I could not stop turning the pages because that one-night incident was too captivating to save for reading at another time! Broadcast journalist Tiel McCoy was a workaholic who would still think about work even during vacation. She was on the way to holiday at New Mexico when she heard big news on the radio bulletin: millionaire Russell Dandy’s teenaged daughter had been kidnapped by a fellow high school student! Tiel immediately made a stop at a convenience store in a small town to phone her editor Gully for more information on the case. Her workaholic self badly wanted to work on the story, for it will surely earn her all the glory she had always craved for, as well as a spot as the host for a new TV program t

The Count of Monte Cristo By Alexandre Dumas 224 pages This edition published by Scholar’s Publications Sdn. Bhd. (2005) I finished reading The Count of Monte Cristo in one sitting, within three hours. But don’t be awed, because I cheated, of course 😅. The copy that I read was an abridged version catered for school children (and yes, it had illustrations too)! It was in year 1815 and Edmond Dantes, the First Mate for the merchant ship Pharaon was about to be promoted as captain after the previous one passed away from an illness. Another crew member by the name Danglars was disappointed by the appointment because he himself badly wanted to be made Pharaon ’s captain. Meanwhile around the same time, Edmond had planned for a wedding to his long-time lover Mercedes, and this had gained the envy of another man by the name Fernand. Fernand was Mercedes’s cousin and he wanted to marry her, too, but she only loved him as a relative. Mercedes had warned Fernand not to harm Edmond in any way o

Gedebe Oleh Imaen 380 halaman Diterbitkan oleh JS Adiwarna Publications & Distributors Sdn. Bhd. (2015) Ketika membaca bab-bab awal novel Gedebe , aku terasa seperti sedang membaca novel satira karya Malungun. Pada bahagian awal-awal novel ini tidak banyak dialog, sebaliknya lebih fokus kepada pengenalan watak, gaya kehidupan serta perangai watak tersebut yang adakala disampaikan dengan nada sindiran. Nik Mounir (Pak Nik) yang terkenal di Kuala Krai dengan perangai bengkeng dan gedebe ada mengusahakan ladang lembu yang sangat maju. Pak Nik orang jutawan, tetapi tidak ramai kawan kerana sikapnya yang kurang disenangi itu. Bukan sahaja tidak ramai kawan, malah adik yang satu-satunya dia ada pun dia sudah putuskan hubungan. Pak Nik mahu ladang lembunya itu diwariskan kesemuanya buat anak kesayangannya Nik Adem. Pak Nik ada anak-anak yang lain iaitu Nani, Rina dan Nik Saiful, namun anaknya yang nombor tiga, Adem, tetap menjadi kesayangan Pak Nik walaupun Adem pernah dimasukkan ke penja
