Ubur-Ubur Lembur

I’ve been a fan of Raditya Dika since I was in 5th grade (I will be 23 this year!). I finished reading this book only in 2 hours, I enjoyed it so much. The book feels so whole? Dari kesotoy-anku dalam mengerti skill penulisan seorang penulis (apeeee), I really feel Bang Raditya Dika has matured so much in his writings, still with very funny with his witty self-depreciating humor, but I feel like this book has the ability to touch our hearts a little longer. While reading the book, I didn’t laugh as much as I did back then (inget banget kalo ga salah chapter mengenai zodiak asal-asalan bukan ya di Kambingjantan? Dulu bacanya sampe jatoh dari kasur karena heboh aja gitu, font bukunya Tahoma (inget)), tapi I didn’t laugh as much not because it is not funny, I just felt like this book has the ability to make us smile, to reminisce, not the type in which I can read it dan sampe ketawa jungkir balik. Does this make any sense?? I just got so happy reading it, especially the chapters about Raja, Kathu (probably my fave chapter), and the dude who tried to ask Raditya Dika for money di Aquarius Mahakam. As a fan of Bang Raditya Dika, I’m just so happy reading about how far he has grown as an author, movie director, and so so much more, I can’t believe how far he has come. It’s so great seeing how someone can be successful by doing something that they love, I’m so glad he took that risk, I want to be just like that someday. I have a younger brother, he’s very creative, he likes to post youtube videos (as kids now love to do anyway), and my parents always say to him “Be like Raditya Dika”, and my brother watches Raditya Dika’s stuff on YouTube too. I feel like this is good, parents are slowly changing their views, how people like Raditya Dika, who lives from their passions are now becoming role models. This is such a turn of events don’t you think, dari ortu calon gebetan yang langsung berubah raut mukanya pas Bang Raditya Dika bilang dia penulis hahaha, this is slowly turning into a long post, not even a review. Intinya ini buku bagus bgt, manissss sekali, kangen juga woy baca tulisan Raditya Dika udah lama woyyy wkakaa pls baca karena menyenangkan, lucu, dan bikin hati anget borrrr, tapi jujur blm baca chapter yang lokasi shooting horror karena gw penakut, jadi besok siang aja ya bacanya. This book was great!! Thank you Raditya Dika!!!

Bukan beli dari sini sih, tapi punya buku fisiknya, tetep mau review dari sini karena sama saja. Bertahun tahun ditungguin semenjak Koala Kumal, Ubur Ubur Lembur ini (tetep) bisa buat begadang semalaman buat ngabisin seluruh isi bukunya. Masih terasa khasnya bang Radit dari awal KambingJantan. Cuma, gue merasa ada yang kurang aja gitu, entah apaan, dari buku ini. Enggak seperti biasanya, ada yang terasa beda gitu dari buku ini, gue merasa humornya agak kurang sedikit, karena gue kebanyakan bacanya serius ketimbang ketawanya yang tiba-tiba (punchlinenya ituloh. Masih nice). Mungkin karena sudah sesama tua, gue fans Radit sejak SD dan sampai sekarang sekitar 6-7 tahunan, selera humornya sedikit tergantikan. Mungkin. Overall still worth it to read.

Gua gatau harus ngomong apa. Beberapa bab di buku ini terdapat beberapa kisah yang jalan ceritanya hampir sama kaya yang gue alami. Bedanya adalah, dika bisa menuangkan ini ke sebuah buku dan blog. Sementara, gue cuma punya 'konsep, konsep dan konsep' tp ga pernah dituangin. Entah karena gue takut akan jadi hal yg ga bagus, atau gue cuma ragu untuk menuangkannya. Padahal gua punya blog, padahal gua seneng baca, dan banyak hal lagi. Mungkin ubur-ubur lembur ini bakal jadi pacuan gue ke depannya. Thanks dit!
