However, I can say that this book made me play a “mini movie” in my mind while reading the lines and I can also imagine the character’s voices.

The conflict intrigued me in such a way that it will tickle your imagination and you will try to figure out what does it have to do with the storyline. I have to say I have to adopt with the writing style of the author because it is in a form of screenplay–unlike what we usually see in novels and short stories. Book reviews always contain spoilers right? 🙂Īfter reading MacArthur by Bob Ong, I felt that I need a very light and happy read although the introduction of the book unraveled the general conflict of each character have with themselves and everyone around them. If you haven’t read the book, I suggest you stop reading from this section. Even though the protagonists’ maturity is comparable to a 9 and 8 year old young girls, this book is for everyone to enjoy and love. To people who are young at heart, wants a good, light-read (after a heavy feeling dramatic book) and appreciate a world once filled with rainbows and butterflies. It also give emphasis on the importance of our relationship with our Creator regardless of one’s religion.Ī good combination friendship, spirituality, religion and family. It will remind you how to be innocent at heart and how it can bring out the best out of someone’s sorrowful heart. This book has portrayed the picture of what is it like to see the cruel world throug child’s eyes. Princess Maryam is about friendship of two young girls going over boundaries made by human laws and religion.
