The School for Good And Evil - Soman Chainani
April 27, 2017Bismillah.
Hari ni aku duk belek-belek draft posts dalam blog ni dan terjumpalah entri ni. Sebenarnya dulu aku dah publish post ni, on 27th April 2017 tapi lepas tu aku unpublish sebab cringe dengan diri sendiri.
Hari ni tergerak hati rasa macam nak publish balik. Best sebenarnya tulis blog ni sebab kau akan tulis mengikut tahap emosi dan tahap IQ kau masa tu. macam contoh yang ni, aku tulis pada tahun 2017, iaitu semasa aku tingkatan 3. So faham-faham jelah macam mana budak hingusan 15 tahun tulis kan? HAAHHAHAHAHAH tergelak sorang-sorang aku bila baca post ni.
Tapi aku tak naklah publish balik secara raw camtu je. So aku decide nak edit sikit-sikit ehek. So takdelah kalau korang baca nanti korang rasa ewwwww whatsdiss omggg haa gitew
So aku decide hasil tulisan aku yang aku edit tu aku akan guna warna lain. Warna ungu kut. Sebab sebolehnya, aku nak kekalkan keaslian tulisan budak 15 tahun yang kaki fly tu.
Buku The School for Good and Evil ni dia ialah series tau. As far as I'm concerned, dah ada 6 or 8 buku dalam series ni. Penulisnya, Soman Chainani. Buku ni aku beli sebab cover dia lawa (kut. aku tak ingat dah kenapa aku beli). Aku bukannya fanatik sangat genre fantasi ni sebab biasanya diorang guna advanced English words yang aku takleh nak faham. Aku seorang yang pemalas nak Google everytime aku baca, so...... that would be a hussle.
Right now, I'm so obsessed with this most wonderful book. I thinks it's a very brilliantly, geniusly-written. Oh yeah I know y'all gonna say I say like this to every single book on Earth, but hey. srsly. (yekkkk. gediknya aku dulu T,T)
You see, every time I went into the SMO Bookstores (the hottest one in Terengganu), I would always be distracted by these books. But every time whenever I wanted to buy them. there was always gonna be another beautiful book ; usually written by Sophie Kinsella (bcs I love her). Ofkos, I can only buy one book, not two. PLS NOTE THAT I'M STILL A STUDENT. Pfft.
welkkk, now pun I still a student. And still broke
So guys, WHY am I so attracted to these books in the first place ?
First, of course, the cover. They are so cute and enchanted, it's like they are cursed to make anyone who sees them, buys them. haha
emm, seriusla aku tulis camni? takde ayat lain yang lebih memikat hati ke? budak 6 tahun pun reti tulis lagi awesome daripada ayat ni tau ewww rasa nak sepak aje diri sendiri
The cover of the first book displays two different girls whom you can easily tell they have opposite personalities. One look like she is a miserable, hates every living thing on Earth while the other with golden long hair, looking as if she's a beautiful princess from a picture-perfect fairytale book. The cover also teasingly shows the two different castles in the background. One beautiful castle fits for a princess and another a dark castle/tower that looks like it is the perfect place for mice and cockroaches.
Second, the title. The School for Good And Evil. 0:)o
Tajuk dia memang nice dowh. intriguing gitchew.
Third, of course, the synopsis. Only a good synopsis yang kena pada cerita dan tak berbelit-belit will win a girl's heart. Mysterious and charming.
They got a handbook too, and there's another fourth book, as far as I'm concerned.
But so unfortunately, i haven't got each one of them. I only bought the 2nd one : A World Without Princes. So sad :(
At first, I was hesitated. To buy or not to buy. This is money matter we're talking about guys. It ain't trivial. Is this book gonna be worth it? Am i gonna love it?
I was scared. What if this book contains lots of bombastic words that I have to resort to dictionary every single minute?
But I gained my strength, I swallowed it all. Whatever happens will happen. I WILL BUY THIS BOOK!
Haha. I am not gonna write the synopsis here , but I can tell you this :
This book is about two friends ; Sophie and Agatha.
The only thing I can guarantee you is :
THE ENDING IS UNEXPECTED IT ALMOST DRIVES ME CRAZY
*************** so far that i've read (i mean book two). i don't know bout book one...yet.

i laugh, i smile; foolishly thinking it's gonna end the way i imagine,,, right before i cried my eyes out.
yekkkk... ingat cool lah tu ayat last tu? Wadehek betul la.
Anyway, novel ni memang best. Ceritanya pasal dua ketul girls ni, Sophie and Agatha. Sophie tulah yang long blonde hair tu, Agatha yang nampak macam witch tu.
Setiap tahun, kampung diorang memang akan ada dua budak yang kena culik masuk dalam dunia fairytale. Satu akan masuk ke School for Good. Sorang lagi akan masuk ke School for Evil. Sophie ni pulak, cita-cita dia daripada kecik lagi memang nak masuk School for Good. Dia nak jadi princesss. So kena lengkapkan syarat princess tu la; kena jadi baik dengan semua orang. That's why dia gigih nak berkawan dengan Agatha, perempuan yang dipulaukan oleh orang-orang kampung. Agatha ni memang loner, tapi bila Sophie hari-hari panjat bukit demi nak berkawan dengan dia, dia pun happy. Dia memang hargai sangat kewujudan Sophie dalam hidup dia.
Bila diorang terpilih untuk masuk ke dunia fairytale tu, tiba-tiba ada plot twist. Aku tak tahulah patut ke tak aku cakap tapi aku nak cakap jugak. Sophie ditakdirkan masuk ke dalam School for Evil and Agatha masuk ke School for Good. The thing is, ko tak boleh tukar sekolah sebab ada makhluk ajaib yang jaga sekolah tu. Diorang akan tahu kalau kau cuba-cuba nak tukar dan diorang akan halau kau. And cerita dia memang best sebab plot dia tu.
Kalau kau baca, kau akan tahu dan fahamlah kenapa diorang boleh masuk ke sekolah yang tak terjangka tu. Sebab hati Agatha tu sebenarnya suci murni.
Dan biasalah dah nama pun fairytale, adalah prince nya. Prince dalam cerita ni Tedros. Dia anak Arthur, King of Camelot.
Cerita ni best sebab bukan biasa-biasa tau cerita ni. Dia ada ujian untuk menentukan watak kau dalam next fairytale book. Kalau kau dapat markah rendah, kau akan jadi tumbuhan/haiwan je. Kalau kau berjaya, kau boleh jadi main character. Dan of course, dah nama pun ujian.... So ada jugaklah pertumpahan darah tu sikit, which yang ni kinda unexpected for me.
Buku ni memang recommended. Aku belum baca yang ketiga, although dah beli lama dah sebab takde masa hehe (alasan je ni)
Rating: 4 stars
Bagus untuk bookish yang baru nak start baca buku genre fantasi.
