I've finished this book couple of days ago and it was quite good. Keren. anak muda banget. Meskipun emang konfliknya nggak yang jreng jreng jreeeng gitu. maksud gue bukan konflik yang heboh banget tapi flownya lumayan naik turun. talking about Gay and bisexuality. menggambarkan dengan sangat pas pergumulan (tai bahasa gue 'pergumulan') batin seorang art bechstein to decide whether he is straight, gay or maybe bisexual. and I like the end of the story where Michael Chabon lets it all hang and I think if you had and experience just like Art maybe you will have the same end because not everything in this world has a conclusion. dan gue baru tau kalo ternyata buku ini best-seller karena kayanya nggak segitunya banget juga deh sampe bisa jadi best seller.
Daaan gue juga baru tau kalo akhirnya buku ini dijadiin film dan jadi recommendation movie in Sundance Festival 2008. It's funny how at first, when I read about Phlox, I imagined that Mena Suvari would fit her perfectly dan ternyata beneran dia dong yang meranin Phlox. and Jon Foster really pictured Art perfectly. dapet banget karakter cowok 'lemah'nya. however emang gue gemes banget sama kelemahan si karakter utama ini. but the movie sounds boring so I still not decide it yet whether I'm gonna watch the movie or not. and my feeling was right, after the first premiere in Sundance, In particular, the romance between Cleveland and Art is criticized for being very subdued relative to the heterosexual relationships in the film. Also, the episodic nature of the film has been noted for being disjointed. so, does anyone interested to borrow or maybe buy this book?? It has a cute cover though. haha.
