SYNOPSIS
In elementary school, besides playing war, Radit, Dodo, and Bahri also
liked to sunbathe on an old red car that was often parked on the side of the
river beside the complex. The formation is always the same: Bahri and Radit lie
on the roof of the car, while Dodo, as usual, is a bit wasted, on the trunk.
Sometimes Radit, Dodo,
and Bahri lie for half an hour. Sometimes, if the weather is very hot, it can
take up to two hours. If the weather is cool and not too hot, Radit, Dodo, and
Bahri usually look towards the sun, looking at the sky while lying down. If you
have this, Bahri puts his hands behind his head, while lying down he says,
'It feels like in Miami, huh?'
'Yes,' replied Radit.
'Yes,' answered Dodo.
Their friendship runs pleasantly like the friendship of small children in general. But along with their friendship, there was a dispute that made the three of them finally have to separate.
Towards 2010 Radit met a girl who was tomboy named Deska running smoothly, she was good at playing spears. Radit also changed completely since his closeness to the tomboy girl. But it turns out, the tip of the closeness is not as expected.
In the midst of his busy life, when Raditya Dika feels lonely, he tries to find suitable animals to be nurtured. Finally he agreed to keep cats. Go there here, moving farms with the humor that accompanied Radit to find the right cat.
Because loneliness one day Radit looks for girls via the internet, or more precisely through the application of an piercing. After a little ado with the girl, they both agreed to meet. Apparently, the meeting was very different from what was expected by Radit. The girl Radit found was different too. Anonymous Woman. Radit recounts the experience of his broken heart. An unusual heartbreak, which is caused by an anonymous woman.
In 2010 Raditya Dika created Miko, the twists and turns of creating the Miko Sunday Night series from the beginning until the series was filmed. There is so much sweetness and bitterness experienced by Radit in creating the Miko's Sunday Night work.
Returning to Radit's junior high school, which at that time took part in PMR extracurricular, Radit and his friends were often cheated on by their classmates. When he became a senior, Radit's friends intended to take revenge with his junior. But what, isn't cool, it's even worse.
Experience in 2004, Radit and his friend Trisna who idolized Harry Potter were unnatural. The Trisna has learned an important lesson from the broken heart she experienced. Which certainly changes the way he views love.
Back in 2003 Radit told of his experience with the boyfriend who related the distance of time. At first their relationship went well. But over time, such as relationship relationships in general that are likely to fail, the boyfriend finally meets someone. And that's where Raditya Dika again experienced his greatest heartbreak.
He met again with his ex-girlfriend who had made him experience the greatest
heartbreak. The former admitted that he
regretted having decided it first and told him that he was now different. But listening
to these regrets, Radit actually responded in a different way. A more mature
way. Radit was inspired by the story of Koala migrating from the forest where
he lived. However, when he returned, the forest that had been his home had been
cut down, leveled with land by illegal loggers. Just like Raditya Dika's
greatest heartbreak story, which makes Radit choose the title of this novel.

6. THE WEAKNESS OF THE BOOK
· Some words in the novel are impolite
· In addition, the climax is less attractive
7. THE SUPERIORITY OF THE BOOK
· The delivery of the novel is easy to understand.
· The language used does not make me bored in reading.
· The comedy genre has made me laugh reading it.
· Good storyline.
· In almost every chapter there are words of encouragement / words of motivation.
8. MORAL VALUE
Don't be saddened by a broken heart. Someone we know is not always like that, change can happen anytime. Therefore mutual understanding with each other must continue to be improved to maintain our relationship with others. Broken heart is a process towards maturity. often broken heart does not mean we must despair of pursuing the love that we must strive for. If love does need a struggle. Without the struggle for love it is empty.
9. THE REASON WHY I READ THIS BOOK
I read this novel because
of its interesting appearance to read, considering Raditya Dika is also famous
for good literary and film works
10. SUGGESTION
This book is very
interesting to read. Suitable for those of you who want to relieve stress by
reading jokes. The jokes in this book are not like other books because they are
based on personal experience.
The suggestion for the
author of this book is to include an age label that is allowed to read this
book. This aims to reduce the number of young children who accidentally read
this book. Language that is not suitable for young children can have an impact
on the psychological development of the child.
