First of all i would congratulate Donna for her achievement in writing. i adore her for this :). The book, overall, is easy to understand and to grasp the idea. i do not have to thing a lot to see what is going on. However, my impression is that the book is a lot into Korean Hallyu (Korean wave). those are reflected from the main characters (SKY, F-Lo and Chaeyong), the story is starting from high school, and the dramatic and melancholic plot. But what interesting is that the girl' characters is always close to a weak, spoiled yet a beautiful one. while the boys are simply the opposite. The Korean Hallyu is not a mere of being in those state. it also has theme of women emancipation. if you ever notice of Dong Yi, Jewel in the Palace and Hwang Ji Yi. In those all movies, the women are the subject and have strong characters. using such idealism, you could make your own style that differ from others. But i guess, the novel of Ttokkpokki is just fits with teenager. as time goes by and you grow older you will find your special writing style. Until then, keep on writing. best, |

The story starts with the introduction of a blonde and careless high school boy who made his first step at his new school somewhere in South Korea. From that very first day he had been entangled with the school’s original emperor and a young cute girl by a thin red line that he did not even realize, not until the near ending of the story. How they bound together, how the conflict began in the first chapter and how the tension among them rouse to the climax in the following chapters are delivered really well by the author. Reading this book is like watching a Korean mini drama. Not only has it told the story through the characters’ dialogues or monologues, but also it depicts the settings and culture really well. The author description of place and situation where a scene took place is clear and informative, even the most imaginary ones where F-LO had his consecutive dreams of fantasy creatures. This book is a clear description of high school life. A carefree, dynamic, brave and often careless life too, for most people at this age are act-first-think-later kinds of person. Not really anxious about future impacts of their actions, as long as it suits their principle or closely related to the people they love. But above all, we can see the pure soul of people at this age. They are willing to push aside their objections of something or someone in order to make sure the person they love is happy (which is represented really well by SKY character in this book). How amazing that an author, as young as Donna, succeeded in telling a story of her age to people who are far older than her. Realizing this makes me really happy, as I initially thought that younger people in my country are televised generation, no one cares about writing a good story anymore. Keep up the good job, Donna! |

Reading this novel, I could immediately recall that evocative experience a few years back when I was an English teacher and assigned my students a writing project in which they’re to exert themselves to come up with a piece of writing at their best. They did pretty well and I rejoiced at their works. But I soon learned that Donna’s novel is a real achievement without parallel in the works of my students even compared to that of my brightest student. What’s primarily striking when reading ‘Ttokpokki’ is the author’s excellence in English. Her diction is vibrant; words are carefully selected and every phrase is cunningly manufactured. Clauses and sentences appearing in this book imply that she knows well how to deal with syntactic construction. This remarkable command of English has surely paved her way to tell the story in a mesmerizing flow while presenting witty dialogs and spanking narration, that I ‘gobbled’ this novel in two days. I like it that the story progressed swiftly from one chapter to another the way two friends are chewing the fat. I was simply taken captive by her colorful expressions as she unfolded the story so creatively that I want to complete reading it right away. Each paragraph has its own energy to cast this book as a gripping read. Nevertheless, I’ve found several things that need to be taken into account. The storyteller didn’t describe why Yoosung came to be nicknamed F-LO and why in some occasions he insisted everyone at school call him so. Then there’s a chapter entitled ‘Tickle’ which was there to merely introduce Hanlee, Yoosung’s sister. This section doesn’t seem to render significance to the whole story building and can therefore be removed. Had this chapter been intended to illustrate Yoosung’s intimacy with his sister, it would have been better for Donna to write a little longer section. In addition, it’s rather hard for me to figure out the dramatic shift in SKY’s attitude towards F-LO before and after the collision. Out of human nature, how could SKY turn to be so nice to his ‘enemy’ right after he wanted to beat up the latter guy so badly? SKY later agreed to donate his blood for the injured F-LO but SKY’s undergoing no mental conflict at all before making his generous donation despite the two’s vile enmity. While there’s nothing special in both subject matter and plot, her technique in story writing, one of which is the slight use of stream of consciousness as found in my favorite chapter ‘Dream’, is of paramount skill to help her build her own craftsmanship upon composing a lot better work of art in the future. For this reason, I shan’t be surprised one day to find Donna rated as one of established authors, embracing the world with earth-shattering novels. Once she can develop a certain novelty value in every work of hers, it’ll be a truism for everyone to see her as another Rowling or a Virginia Woolf from Indonesia. |

Lately I have been so fond of teenager, or you can say, young adult stories. People thought that generation gap might prevent readers of my age group to enjoy this kinda books. But I disagree. I happened to translate a book whose author turned out to be very young (compared to myself, of course. I determined my need to read some other fictions written by teenagers as reference, then I ‘bumped’ into Ttokpokki - not that I believe in so-called-coincidence. It was rather hard to even spell the title, I must say, but I found the story quite refreshing. First, I thought F-LO was a girl and I did not try too hard to describe characters pyhsical traits in my imagination. I just went with the flow, smiled a lot, and learned from some admirable phrases (dialogues, to be exact). To tell you the truth, I watch K-drama a lot but mostly on TV and dubbed version, so I had to crave my memory concerning several words. ‘Mou’ and ‘Yaah’ for example. My favorite character was SKY. Whatta loving big brother that I once wished to possess during my adolescence, even childhood. Thank you, Donna, or I should probably say, Kamsahamnida |
