Yuk Kita Bahas!
Sisi Tergelap Surga – Definisi surga menurut tiap orang berbeda-beda. Bisa makan tahu dan mie adalah surga, mendapat tiga puluh ribu tiap hari adalah surga, mendapat klien banyak malam ini adalah surga. Apa definisi surga menurutmu?. Jakarta kerap menjadi pelabuhan bagi mereka yang datang dengan sekoper harapan. Mereka siap bertaruh dengan nasibnya sendiri-sendiri. Namun, kota ini selalu mampu melumat habis harapan dan menukarnya dengan keputusasaan.
Novel ini digarap berdasarkan secercah sisi kehidupan orang-orang yang berjuang demi bisa menyambung hidup di Jakarta. Ada banyak cara dan profesi yang dienyam oleh masyarakat kampung sini, mulai dari tukang tahu, badut ayam, pelacur, pencuri motor, pengamen, pemulung, hingga manusia silver. Dalam novel ini, tiap individu dibahas dengan detail beserta alasan mengapa mereka melakukan itu semua.
Impresi dari Kami
ππ»♂️Aku baca cuma 3 hari lamanya, banyak banget amanat yang bisa aku ambil dari kisah-kisah setiap karakter di dalam novel. Salah satunya yang paling besar adalah “kebahagiaan itu tidak melulu dinilai secara materialistis namun sudut pandang kita lah yang berperan besar dalam menilai kebahagiaan itu meskipun terlihat sangat sederhana di mata orang lain.” Buat aku sendiri, banyak cerita-cerita yang sekiranya hampir pernah aku rasakan jadi aku banyak nangisnya baca buku ini. Selain dari pesan moralnya yang bagus, plot dan alurnya juga sangat baik jadi ngga kerasa terlalu dipaksakan endingnya.
ππ»♀️Speechless, setelah baca novel ini langsung merasa bahwa aku masih banyak sekali ketidaktahuan atas fenomena-fenomena sosial, terutama tentang kemiskinan. Dari Novel ini kita diberikan pandangan bahwasannya setiap orang yang memilih pekerjaan untuk jalan hidupnya memiliki alasan tersendiri, mereka hanya ingin menyambung hidup untuk hari esok.
Rating dari Kami
5/5⭐️
Banyak banget nilai positif yang kami ambil dari novel ini. Bukan hanya nilai positifnya saja tapi buku ini juga menyadari kami agar terus bersyukur dengan hal-hal kecil yang kami miliki.

Here Comes the Review!
Sisi Tergelap Surga – Everyone's definition of paradise is different. For some people being able to eat tofu and noodles is a paradise, earning thirty thousand every day is paradise, getting a lot of clients tonight is a paradise. What is your definition of paradise itself? Jakarta is often a harbor for those who come with tons of hope. They are ready to gamble with their own fate. However, this city is always able to crush hope and exchange it with despair.
This novel is based on a glimpse into the lives of people struggling to make a living in Jakarta. There are many ways and professions that the people of this village have taken up, from tofu makers, chicken clowns, prostitutes, motorcycle thieves, buskers, scavengers, to silver men. In this novel, each individual is told in detail along with the reasons why they do it all.
Nick and Nora’s Mind
ππ»♂️I read it in just 3 days, there are so many messages that I can take from the stories of each character in the novel. One of the biggest ones is "happiness is not always judged materialistically but it is our point of view that plays a big role in judging happiness even though it looks very simple in other eyes." For me, there are many stories that I have almost felt so I cried a lot reading this book. Besides the good moral message, the plot is also very good so it doesn't feel too forced in the ending.
ππ»♀️Speechless, after reading this novel, I immediately felt that I still have a lot of ignorance about social phenomena, especially about the poverty. From this novel we are given the view that everyone who chooses a job for their way of life has their own reasons, they just want to make a living for tomorrow.

5/5⭐️
There are so many positive values that we took from this novel. Not only the positive values, but this book also made us realize to be grateful for the little things we have.
