angsa2 liar

iya judul bahasa indonesianya itu

so the story tells about the life of this one women, her mother and her grandmother. but before i go any further, one word for this book. booooriiing. hehehehehe. well, i guess the first few chapters are really good, i was totally hooked. but as soon as i get to the part where the story is suddenly dominated by political ideologies and stuff like that, the scale sort of went down. but what makes the book boring is not about the political stuff they talk about, but it's because of its lack of rebel. let's recap to previous bestsellers. a clockwork orange, why is it so groundbreaking? because alex is a complete rebel. he goes around raping children and beats up anyone he wants. the da vinci code, it rebels against what everybody believes, christianity. gossip girls, girls going out getting drunk and having sex 24/7. imagine if you read a story that only tells about a person who sits nicely through 3 years of high school. seriously, that's stupid. we want to see people who can actually speak up for themselves even if it means going against the law. in wild swans, rules are there to be followed, not broken. so yeah, i don't recommend this book to anyone who doesn't study chinese culture and history. but if you do, it won't hurt to read it. but i suggest you just skim through it, not read it through.
