Review:
I really like this book actually, it is more of a paranormal side, but it has a lot of morals. Well I could relate to this book because I used to see ghosts myself when I was little, and I was about his age though. Well you just need a lot of faith to go through the phase. And I could tell you that I am waiting for the sequel myself.
There is a lot of these 'adult' inappropriate parts in this book. I really like how Izaq's constantly helping his friends to not attend any of the meetings with his counselor. I like his counselor's determination on trying to help Izaq with his problem. And somehow throughout reading this book, when Izaq was nearly raped by his friend's uncle, I pitied him a lot -- going on saying, "sian dia dahlah muda lagi."
Well I think that this book is quite different and somehow, it does not make sense. Well, 12 year old's aren't that intellectual and as pious as Izaq. But this book is for adults, so I don't really mind. But I like how Syafiq Aizat elaborated, he did it well.
The twist where Nadira is actually dead: I thought so! Well I guess everybody did so Syafiq Aizat, an excellent write indeed.
