Ahirnya beres juga...
jadi begini para rekan durjana tercinta, menurut seorang durjanawanwati ini buku ide-nya bagus, sayangnya eksekusi gak terlalu bagus, ceritanya terlalu datar buat sang durjanawanwati. Sepertinya dia sedikit "terganggu" dengan karakter Jack yang dimatanya terlalu hebat ato agung *kalo dia jadi jack dijamin dia bakal cari itu brandal yang macem2 itu dan membunuhnya ~ dengan kampak pingky tentunya, hehehe* Dia lebih memilih buku2 karya nicholas sparks aja kalo n More...

Mel rated it:

saya memiliki satu pemikiran sejak dulu. bahwa jika saya bertemu sosok yang saya cintai, dan menghabiskan seluruh sisa hidup saya dengannya nanti, saya ingin kematian menjemput saya duluan dibanding dia (egois ya? lol). karena bagi saya, ungkapan 'hingga maut memisahkan' jelas tidak dapat diatur dalam waktu yang sama. dan jika itu dapat terjadi, seperti sebuah bonus. jadi jika boleh memiliki satu keinginan egois terkait orang yang dicintai, saya akan memilih keinginan tadi. 'pergi duluan'.

Surat Cinta di Hari Rabu demikian judulnya. Tamatpun di hari Rabu. Kilasan mengenai sepasang kekasih yang terpisah oleh maut hanya dalam rentangan menit. Karena begitu yang satu menyusul tak lama setelah kepulangan kekasihnya. Lalu dimana arti surat-surat itu? Saya yang suka sejarah menyebutnya surat-surat itu adalah artefak perjalanan mereka.

Seremeh itu kah?

Artefak yang terkumpul lama sejak mulai pertemuan hingga menjelang perpisahan mereka menjadi tak remeh tentunya. Di More...

My Book Club's latest selection...I don't have much to say about it except if you love Hallmarky books that are written on about a 5th grade reading level with characterization that reads, "But with eyes like that, Rain never blended into the crowd.", then you'll love it.

Maybe this book is good. I wouldn't know, I couldn't get interested enough to go past the first few chapters. Fuck off book.

Okay, I like this book but I have some problems with it. I was really hoping for a feel good story and it was kind of disappointing. I liked the idea of the Wednesday letters. It is sweet to think that a husband would do this. I like the idea of redemption that is discussed in the story but it really bothers me when LDS authors don't just make their characters LDS! I mean what is the big deal? It wouldn't be like they would have to explain everything about our faith but if you're going to have More...

Talk about a made-for-tv movie to be featured on the Lifetime channel! Not my cup of tea---too cheesy and Hallmark-y (is that a word?). You could just hear the violin music playing in the background of this one. Yeah, it was a good, clean, easy read, and offered a good lesson on forgiveness and how we should be slow to judge others because we don't know their whole story, but SO much of it was too dramatized. The little plot shocker at the end of the story was too "YEAH RIGHT,(w/ eye r More...

Christie rated it:

While reading the reviews on this book, I was so excited to open and read. However, this book was NOT what I was expecting. I feel like the author was trying to hard to produce another acclaimed novel with a Title that entices, but failed to deliver. The adolescent verbage used by the characters cheapened the novel a bit. I would not have titled this book The Wednesday Letters due to the fact that the letters, although an integral part of the book, was not what the book was about.

Meredith rated it:

I just finished this book. It was okay. I read a lot of reviews on Amazon about it saying they didn't care for the preachy, conservative-Christian viewpoint it touted. I didn't see an overbearing theme like that come across at all, and I was surprised that so many reviewers didn't care for the book for that reason. All the choices and reactions of the characters felt genuine, and while to some the choice of the main characters' mother may have seemed "ultra-conservative," I thought More...

Susan rated it:

This is a story of adult children who come home to bury their parents and find boxes of letters their father had written to their mother every Wednesday during their 39 years of marriage. Lots of secrets and lots of truths and how faith and forgiveness are the lessons good parents teach their children at any age. It reads fast and I cried.

I finished. I am a little dissapointed. Its ok, but nothing in comparison to his first book. Its a nice, quick story. I was expecting the perpetrator to be someone else, so that was a little twist. But not much of one. Let me know what you think in the comments section.

A letter from a husband to a wife each and every Wednesday through 39 years of marriage. The legacy left to three grieving children who learn the meaning of love and forgiveness through the letters. A beautiful story you will not soon forget.

Evi rated it:

Ternyata kebiasaan menulis itu bisa menyimpan banyak makna ya, apa yang tidak bisa diungkapkan secara lisan bisa leluasa diungkapkan dengan tulisan.

Saat membaca awal cerita ini saya pikir seperti cerita roman lainnya karena dari judul dan sinopsis di belakangnya menyiratkan seperti itu. Lembar demi lembar saya lewati dan ternyata makin ke belakang makin seru karena ternyata selain unsur romantisme cerita ini juga dibumbui unsur teka teki tentang siapa Malcolm. Kalau saja Jack tidak p More...

The story was pretty good. A good plot anyway. The writer on the other hand was kind of jumpy to me and didn't fill in all the details that needed to be in the story to really draw you in. Sometimes I had to guess with details about the charaters and even about half the conversations left me wondering because they didn't quite seem complete.

I would give this book 2.5 stars if I could. I liked the message and the idea, but felt the writing was definitely not as good as it could have been.

Jason Wright has produced yet another great story in The Wednesday Letters. With more than one plot twist, you'll find yourself glued to the story to find out what happens next.

Jack and Laurel, the owners of a B&B in Virginia, pass away, and their children find boxes of letters their father wrote to their mother every Wednesday. In reading the letters, the children discover a disturbing secret. Ultimately, the message in the book is about forgiveness, promises, true family love, More...

Kapan ya terakhir gw beli novel cinta yang mendayu-dayu?? Hmm sudah cukup lama sepertinya sejak mencoba mengoleksi sedikit dari karya Nicholas Spark, Eric Segal 3-5 tahun silam. Membaca novel cinta jauh lebih berat daripada baca nama-nama dalam Gajah Mada yang bikin lidah gw kriting. Berat karena pasti bakal ada banjir airmata dan itu sungguh menyiksa karena pagi-pagi mata gw jadi sembab layaknya baru ditinggal kawin pacar tercintaH. 2 Bulan lalu gw tergoda sebuah novel bersampul menarik karena More...

This is an entertaining read about love and forgiveness and family. I enjoyed the story, would have liked the ending to be a bit less abrupt, but the final chapter seems to leave the door open for a sequel. For me personally, the story could have been as good without all the religious references. That felt just the smallest bit like I was being preached at occasionally and seemed somewhat heavy-handed in that regard, could have been dialed back. It felt as if those parts were put in so that it c More...

This book is the story of Jack, Laurel, and their three adult children. In the very beginning of the book, Jack and Laurel die on the same night, and their children are left to deal with several unresolved family issues. The answers are found in the letters left behind by their parents. Jack made a promise when he first married Laurel to write her a letter every Wednesday, and kept that promise for 39 years. The boxes of letters reveal not only the answers to a few family secrets, but also the w More...

I finished this book in just over a day. It's pretty sappy and reminded me a lot of The Notebook, which I liked better. But due to hormones and what have you, I did cry a bit. It is romantic, although the character development was a bit forced.

So the book is set during the weekend of the funeral for a couple who were married a long time, ran a B&B and had three grown kids. Each Wednesday he wrote her a letter (I wasn't clear if he chose Wed because they were married on a Wed or what More...
