Excess :
• The novel is very inspiring .
• Teach us about optimistic and
unyielding spirit .
• attractive cover .
• Novel Edensor is not like
novels by Andrea Hirata earlier . This novel
presents the illustration picture
in several part of the story, that make it
more interesting .
Shortage :
• This novel has been nearly
perfect in my opinion , it's just on paper only drawbacks in use is still a
lack of scrap paper so durable .
• Why did the author take the
title " Edensor " , which is the name of an imaginary village Herriot
quoted from the novel ? Why should " Edensor " ? Why should a
fictitious village name ? Is not the " real " it is more interesting
because it actually exists in real life

motivation to keep fighting through life

anything is possible if we want to pray , try and keep trying
