I have finished this book last week. I am glad that I have bought this book from Rozella. It is such a wonderful true story. Thanks Rozella for the great price :)
This book is about a man named Daniel Pearl or well known as Danny Pearl a Wall Street Journal reporter who went to Karachi with his pregnant wife Mariane Pearl. He was kidnapped by terrorist in Karachi and then found beheaded days after the kidnapping. The reason was because he is a Jewish! It was so tragic :(
When I think about Mariane and her son I cry. I really salute Mariane as she was so brave, strong and never give up till the end. I do not think I would have that strength if I was her.
To those who do not know anything about this you can simply google or surf about it in youtube. I did not know there is “A Mighty Heart” movie acted by Angelina Jolie as Mariane! I will get a copy of it for sure!
Here are the interesting excerpts:
Don’t lose your smile okay? We’re going to get bald and fat and old, but you can’t lose that smile –Danny Pearl-This excerpt really touches me. Someone has said this to me before. When I reached this part, I just couldn’t help but having watery eyes.
How can anyone live without hope? – Mariane Pearl-
Objects inanimés, aves-vous donc une âmeWords of farewell to the house that Danny and Mariane stayed when there were in Karachi.
Qui s’ attache à notre âme et la force d’aimer?
Inanimate objects, do you possess a soul
That comes to our soul, and demands to be loved?
-Alphonse de Lamartie-
My love life needs a double-click. Sometimes in the process called life, my document titled ‘love life’ has been lost. And, like a cyber-crime investigator, I am trying to recover the lost file from the formatted hard disk of my heart – Dost-I like this excerpt the most. Feel like it is just about me.
Thanks again Rozella!
Oh Faisal! I am so glad that you like the book! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is the most amazing story isn't it? I mean... I cannot imagine being in such a situation and to love like that... wow... that is just the most beautiful thing in the world.
I just hope that one day I'll be able to find my own Danny too. He was just an amazing man and this book is the perfect tribute.
Rosie - Yes I live the book a lot! I seldom read a true story book but this one if absolutely different :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at the pictures when they were together I just could not imagine the hard time Mariane had gone through :(

ReplyDeleteInsyaalah boleh besarkan anak tanpa ayahnya...
ReplyDeletecuma anak tu mungkin akan rasa kurang sket..xda kasih-sayang dari ayah kandungnya...
aiseh~~sebak tetiba lak...

Teja - Hmm bayangkan bila dia tahu ayah dia kena pancung kepala. Mati dalam keadaan ngeri. Apa perasaan dia? Harap-harap dia tak jadi anti Islam.
ReplyDeletedia anti Islam ke tak..kita xtau la pasal tu faisal...
ReplyDeletecuma.mungkin ada dendam n rasa marah..

ReplyDeletesounds a good book to read. touching im sure :) let us know how the movie goes! :)
ReplyDeleteMovie? Hmmm... I don't know. I'm just never satisfied with movies after reading a book. So many things are just left out and well.. I don't know lah. I love Angie, but I just don't see her in that role.
ReplyDeleteTeja - Faisal pun harap-harap anak dia dapat cari siapa pembunuh tu dan bawa ke pengadilan. Semoga anak dia tidak membenci agama tetapi pembunuh itu sendiri.
ReplyDeleteFaisal pernah tengok video sembelih tu tapi sekali je la, kan dalam Islam pun tak digalakkan. Nanti buta hati :)
Ann - What about the book? Haha.
Porcelain doll - Let me know what you think after reading it ok? :)
Tammy - Yes Tammy. Trust me, you should get yourself a copy.
Cahaya - Yes Cahaya when we are depress like now, story like this will add more emotion into it :(
Neddy - Yep. Sangat tragik Neddy. Nanti review ye lepas baca. Nak tahu apa pandangan orang lain :)
Senyum itu sedekah. Tak susah kan nak sedekah? :)
Ismail - Haha lebih sentimental? Maybe kot. Sometimes the mood and the emotion also effect our post ;)
Etavasi - Nak pinjam? Jauh tu :P Baca buku then tengok movie lagi best :)
Ixora - Senyum... seindah suria? :)
Quachee - Hopefully I can get a copy of DVD :) I will let you know ok?
Rosie - Yes like I did with Potter, LOTR and Golden Compass ;)

ReplyDeleteIs there a movie about this? I think Angelina Jolie's acting in it. I almost cry watching is. Huhuu
ReplyDeletemust be a great book, I love good books, and normally I get addicted to finishing one as soon as I can. I am a huge fan of Danielle Steel, I have a lot of her books, I could open up a store!
ReplyDeletethe quotes are brilliant, and you did a great job picking out the best!
BCD - Yes BCD there is a movie about this. "...I did not know there is “A Mighty Heart” movie acted by Angelina Jolie as Mariane! I will get a copy of it for sure!..". I haven't watched it yet but soon ;)
ReplyDeleteFarah - I love good books too but sometimes our perspective might be different hehe.
Yes love the quotes a lot. Mom always tease me by talking about the last quote!
