Unfinished Journal

Hey guys!

Yesterday I read a good novel. The title is Unfinished Journal. It's a science-fantasy novel which written by Fauzi Maulana Hakim. He is Indonesian young writer. He is 16 years old but has a lot achievement.Unfinished Journal is his first fantasy novel.

Cover
The novel itself tells about the life that happens in the worst years mankind after a very devastating nuclear war occurred in 2065. Many victims fell and few countries can survive. Indonesia is one country who are victims of war. Fortunately, the residents are still able to survive after passing through the years like hell.This war is also in line with the severe natural damage causing a crisis for human survival in the year 2093.

Ardi Nurdiana
The main character in this novel is Ardi Nurdiana. He lives in Bandung in 2093, the year which is the darkest period of mankind. The people live in artificial domes called  'city'. The outside world is horrible, the air thinned and heavy, even very dirty.

He was alone and desperate. He can no longer make sense of life. he's totally powerless against all this. He wants all be over ... until he met Professor Erid, he has something to change this world, that is a strange tube, which called a vehicle, a vehicle that could change history, and it is called the Time Machine.
Prof. Erid's time machine
 
In my opinion, this novel is one of good science-fiction novels . Although it is not as good as AlphaVeta, the novel of the same genre and made ​​also by Indonesian, but Unfinished Book gives a different value to the readers. This novel tells about what will happen in the future if we don't maintain our earth. The author also gives sketches of some of the events in the story. The end of this novel is very good and totally unpredictable!

However there are some flaws in this novel. It is lacking in
explaining scientific details. For example in the use of newspapers as well as vehicles, such as buses and cars in this story. There is a contradiction where there is an explanation that the tree during this very difficult to find and oxygen necessary for survival that must be imported from abroad, but in fact the father explained Ardi even casually read the newspaper like that happening today. Similarly, the use of cars and buses in the two chapters That are not explained what kind of bus or car, because the car or the bus emissions would result water pollution.
However, Unfinished Journal is still worth reading.!
:D

"Save our earth for the sake of a brighter future."


Happy Reading All... !
