Someone I Admire: Sarah Dessen

            Everybody in their life always have someone that always their admire, including me. From their family, friends until an actress or actor. Well, someone first that I admirer of course Nabi Muhammad S.A.W. but now I’m not gonna tell about him. I’m going to tell about Sarah Dessen, my favorite author. She’s usually writes about teenagers life, which make her story really a life one. She has published her book around ther world like French and Germany. She has published 12 book, and one of them had translated to Bahasa Indonesia. Well, my favorite book are The Truth About Forever and A Long For The Ride.

                        Well, now Sarah Dessen live in Chapel Hill, North Calorina. She was born in Evanston, Illinois at 6 June, 1970. Now her age is 42 years old. Well she has one daughter and one husband. Their name Sasa and Jay. Well, she has two dogs, too. Her father is one of the professor of English at the University of North Carolina. Her mother too is one of the professor at the University of North Carolina. Her brother is a musician. Even as a child Sarah love to read and write. She often read Lois Lowry and Judy Blume. The first that she published is That Summer. A Long For The Ride one of her book that made New York Time Best Sellers List.

            The Truth About Forever is one of my favorite book like I’ve said before. Well story of book is someone who felt that she must be perfect to be someone, but after she met Wes she learned that life isn’t must be perfect. Cause imperfect make it perfectly. Dreamland, one of her book too, is interesting too. It is about a girl name Cass and then he met Rogerson. Then he became her boyfriend but one day he started violence her. So, I think this book that really alive one than the others book. I recommended this! Well the others book that I’ve read is Just Listen. This book, it tell us that if you see someone life look like a perfect one, the truth is they don’t. Because everyone, always have a trouble in their life and we must honest to say it.

            Well, I think Sarah Dessen is famous because she has a characteristic that can tell to the reader ‘this my book, you can feel it’. Because everytime I read her book, that always have a same feeling or something like that. Like her English that so simply not hard, easy to understand. Then the story that usually we face it everyday. In her book too, she always made the solution form the trouble she make. This solution too, can we apply in real life. So like in the her story that we learn to be a better person, to be a right one, like she told us. Well maybe that’s why her book is so I think famous one.

            I wish that her book, all of her book, was translated into Bahasa Indonesia. So, we – the teenagers- can read it and take the message so we can learn and make a better teenager. To buy her book is quit harder in Indonesia. I think I just find her book in Kinokuniya Jakarta or Singapore. But I highly recommended her book!
