-10 REASONS NOT TO FALL IN LOVE-

RM 35.50 @ POPULAR BOOKSTORE

a new author for me.. usually i just bought a book from Cecelia Ahern and Sophie Kinsella.. and i think i already had almost all of the Cecelia Ahern's novel.. if i do have time, i will re-read all the novel and give some review here.. =)

what make me "attract" to this book?? of course because of it Title.. 10 reasons not to fall in LOVE..

this novel is about a single mother, Jo who need to take care her son, Alfie all by herself. Her husband, Richard had left two of them on Alfie's first birthday.

Alfie is not their plan. He is accidentally produce when both Jo and Richard still climbing up for their carrier. They are work at the same place, and during the pregnancy, Richard had become Jo's boss.

Jo become very disappointed with Richard's attitude that never try to accept the exist of Alfie and only spent a few time with Alfie.

since then, Jo refuse to accept any relationship with man. She afraid if once she is in a relationship, then the man can't adopt his new life with "an-instant" child, it will hurt Alfie more. Jo think that Alfie already go through a difficult time when growing up without a man called father always beside him.

then, they meet up a "balloon man" called Dan.. and since then Alfie and Dan become friends and indirectly.. Jo need to accept the new man in her life.

in this novel, there are some "flashback" of Dan's childhood. which are not as fun as other kids. At the beginning of  his age, Dan just have a very loving and fun moment with his parent. but then, everything has changed when his Father become aggressive and always drunk.

Dan become a witness of his mother abused by his father. then, he become very traumatic when people keep arguing about their football's team wining or losing the match. this is because, during his childhood, his father will become very angry and will start to abuse Dan's mother whenever Liverpool is losing their match.

and.. how does Dan appearance changes the whole things in Jo and Alfie life?? please get this book.. ^_^

for my opinion.. i do like this book because it tells about the bad effect for children's emotional when they have very bad experience during their childhood. and how the leak of love from parents can cause them to be very aggressive in order to get attention from others.

This book also shows how your parent, especially your mom always try to make and try to look happy in front of you even the reality is they are very2 hurt and their are in very bad condition. our parent also always try their best to protect all their children even putting themselves in danger.

but, there still a little bit of aspect that keep annoying me. This author use a very long sentences to describe something (as i usually do.. =p). and i can't find any sense of humor in his writing. its give me a different experience compare to read Cecelia Ahern or Sophie Kinsella novels..
 
After completing reading this book, i give it 3 and a half star.

p/s: I'm crying during reading this book.. maybe I'm quite sensitive persons.. but it is too sad to imagine hows seriously bad to a children to have very frightening experience looking at his own mother been abused.
