THOUGHT ABOUT PHOTOGRAPH BOOK: HUMANS OF NEW YORK



Book Title: Humans of New York
Author: Brandon Stanton
Published by: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 978-12500-388-21
Genre: Non fistion, photograph book

I will try write my review in english. There will be a lot of many grammar mistakes, if you want to help me, you can tell me in comment or by email (dearest_lina@yahoo.com).

At first, I don't want to make review of this book. Because this is a photograph book, the book which have more pictures than words. What can I tell about the story, rather than praise for the beautiful of Stanton's photographs. And his photos are really beautiful. 

But just because this book is filled with so many interesting picture, it does not mean it cannot tell a story. There is an old quote which said, "Good picture is not about the quality of the image such as color, photo's technique, etc but good picture tell the story about what happened in the picture." (Well I guess, this is mean, selfie is not good picture, because it's only about narcissism #sorry).

He tried to remember how this had happened - how she went from someone he'd never met to the only one who mattered. 

I will try to write review in English this time and please forgive me for my mess grammar, as you know, my excuse because English is not my first language.


I really don't know where to begin. Frankly speaking I thought I already gave up to read YA romance (including paranormal romance or contemporary romance) since I haven't got any feeling to read romance lately. Not only YA, mostly romance book seems hard to get into my muse.  

This is the second Rainbow Rowell's book I read. The first one is Fangirl (click here for the review). Although Fangirl have nice story, but the story didn't appeal to me. There are many times I felt sleepy while I'm reading Fangirl. At first I thought it because the plotline kind of slow, but after finished Eleanor and Park, maybe I should blame the translation. Yes, I read Eleanor and Park in English, because the translation book cover is really bad, and I'm so choosey when it comes to cover. At first I thought it will be difficult to read in English, but actually is not that difficult, or in Eleanor and Park I don't find difficult at all and guess what? Reading Eleanor and Park in English make me want to READ MORE BOOK IN ENGLISH.
