BOOK REVIEW OF ULYSSES MOORE: DOOR TO TIME WRITTEN BY PIERDOMENICO BACCALARIO
No full textFinal Project ini merupakan ulasan dari novel Ulysses Moore: Door to Time yang telah dialih bahasakan menjadi Ulysses Moore: Pintu Waktu. Buku ini ditulis oleh seorang penulis Italia bernama Pierdomenico Baccalario. Ulysses Moore bergenre fiksi anak dan bercerita tentang petualangan sekelompok anak yang mencoba menguak misteri sebuah rumah. Door to Time merupakan seri awal dari rangkaian 9 buku Ulysses Moore. Di dalamnya terdapat sebab-sebab dan asal- muasal kejadian yang ada di buku-buku selanjutnya. Sedangkan Final Project ini sendiri menyajikan review dan pandangan-pandangan penulis mengenai buku tersebut. Ulysses Moore adalah buku anak yang sangat menantang. Gaya pembawaan buku ini menjadikan ceritanya seolah benar-benar terjadi, misal dengan adanya email dari editor di tiap pendahuluan yang berisi hasil penyelidikannya tentang Ulysses Moore. Sebaliknya, sulit membayangkan beberapa anak di awal umur belasan tahun dapat memecahkan berbagai misteri seperti yang ada di buku ini. Meski begitu, Ulysses Moore tetap layak dibaca sebagai tambahan pembendaharaan bacaan yang bagus baik untuk anak maupun dewasa
