I'm one of those people who watched the film first and read the book later. I rarely read Malay novels, or any kind of novel for that matter these days, so this is something totally out of the norm for me. It's not that I don't like to read, it's just that I never find the time to do so anymore. I somehow prefer to read short stories from the Reader's Digest instead. I used to read a lot when I was younger.....story books I mean......thanks to my parents who love to collect story books and of course read them as well hahahaha, they don't just collect them ok......especially my late father.....he read a lot!! A LOT I tell ya!!! :D
But all for the love of Ombak Rindu, I borrowed this book from my aunt and started reading it if I'm not mistaken about 1 or 2 weeks after I watched the film. And I'm only at chapter 7 now! LOL!! I wonder when I'll finish reading this. It's not that it's not an interesting read but, I'm always so busy with work. Excuses, excuses! I must finish reading this book this month!! :D
Well, if you must know.......film vs novel........so far, I kinda like novel better. I like the way the author tells the story too. She has a way of telling the story that makes you want to keep on continuing reading it. My aunt told me that she only took 2 days to finish reading the book. Ha! Can't beat her now. I'm a slow reader. Reading at snail pace. Haha! :D
