I picked this up because I used to have a friend that worshiped this book, most probably because the ship sunk on her birthday and it was the only book (that was famous) she read at that particular time. I can finish an 800-page book in a day but I took 3 days to finish this. Make the words italic or something to make it easier for the reader to know if the words are on the glossary.more I don't like the way they made the glossary. I wish more words are put on the glossary. The characters are not likeable, in fact the main character, Zainuddin seems pretty depressing almost the whole story. If I take aside the romance, focus on the situation, the mindset of the community - Minangkabau people at that time- I find this a great literature. This story sets around 1930, so readers got the idea about the state of the country at that time. I like the topics mentioned in this story - religion, culture, the difference in social status. Made me wonder the whole time I was reading this, what does the author means by Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck and I didn't know it was literally talking about a sinking ship. A great title but the thing only happened at the end. A great 3.5Ī very memorable and captivating read.
