Harris bin Potter, sebuah parodi

Salam,

Lama nak tulis review buku nie, busy yang amat 2 minggu nie. 2 minggu nie diuji dengan masa; deadline geran, progressive book chapter writing, siapkan paper untuk submit kepada reviewer, rancangan pengajaran semester dan macam-macam lagi. Ditambah pula dengan kesihatan yang agak merundum disebabkan cuaca yang amat panas sekarang nie. Dengan berita jangkitan novel coronavirus (nCoV) lagi, serba sikit kita rasa risau juga kan.

OK lah. I better write a review now, kejap lagi nak balik rumah bonda. So about this book, what caught my attention is the title. I am a fan of Harry Potter, so anything that has to do with Harry Potter will give me an alert. The eye really tricked me this time. Instead of Harry, the title say Harris. Baca 2 kali baru perasan, nie bukan buku Harry lah. But I was keen to know, so I looked up in goodreads for review. For a new book and not a mainstream book, the rating and review is not that bad. Many said it is full of humour. And since it is so hard to get, I bought it from my favourite online seller, BooksNBoobs. The book is a quicker, memang pisang goreng panas. I had to place an order and wait for almost a month to get the book. And it was worth the wait.

Buku sampai, tak sempat baca dulu. So I let Miss T read first. She finished reading it in 3 days. I asked for her review, she said, "kelakar lah mama". Betul ke? She nodded her head.

So bila tiba masa iols membacanya, awal-awal lagi dah kelakar. Suffian Hakim you are a talented and witty writer. The best part is where he changed the name of the characters from Harry Potter to something local but funny and sometimes crazy name, like Just Out Beaver,  There is this one part that I love so much where the grading system is changed to something funnier, local but logically. I have wrote about this earlier, you can read it here. Mine you Suffian Hakim is a Singaporean. Tapi dah serumpun kan, I can accept his story.

I think if you are not a fan of Harry you may found this book uninteresting. But I could be wrong. The only thing that I don't like is it contains a lot of bad words, not that I mind it at all, but I regret it when Miss T read it first. Tanya Miss T, do you understand what this words mean, she said, I think I know...hahahahha... So, I would strongly recommend you to read it first before handed it to your kids, unless you kid is open-minded. You decide.

So, mana nak beli buku nie? I don't know whether Rachel from BooksNBoobs still has some copies left. You need to DM her to find out.

I gave a 5 out of 5 stars on goodreads.com, yup that much.... So that's it, my review.

Happy reading folks.


Spread the love
