One of the novels that made Mount Semeru a hit in 2012, until finally the climbers of Mount Semeru increased rapidly by 100% after a year of the book and film being released. Becoming one of the novels that was able to be adapted very successfully, the same name as the title of this novel, 5cm.

The title of this book sounds very simple, with only 3 letters. The author is also not a very famous author, but I think his works are indeed worthy of thumbs up. The last year of 2020, I found out that this book finally had a sequel, but we will discuss it after the first book that I will discuss.

This book is a novel by Donny Dhirgantoro with a story of 5 mountain climber friends who have the goal of climbing Mount Semeru together. Having no previous experience, until finally they try to promise one thing, maintaining friendship to reach the peak of Mount Semeru.

One of the advantages of this book is the use of sentences that are easy to understand and also an exciting story. Like other action books, this book makes us keep reading the amazing pages. The storyline is not boring, each chapter has its own story. This book used to be a favorite novel among teenagers.

A novel that tells about dreams, friendship and love is a very complex novel and will certainly be desired by many people, including teenagers. In addition, there are many moral messages poured into the writing by the author. Something valuable is in this book.

At that time, this novel was truly a masterpiece. The story is so fresh, about climbing, friendship and ideals. Everyone has a goal, like these five friends. Having a hope that seems to be desired by many people.

The drawback in this book lies in the ending which looks so hanging. It turned out that unexpectedly, from 2007, this book finally had a sequel in 2020. Something that turned out to have happened for a very long time, finally answered all questions without any spill that this book had a next story.

This novel has diction and style. The diction used is non-standard language and also the use of foreign terms and metaphors. So, it feels very difficult not to read it until the end.

In my opinion, this novel is so climactic when we finally know what the meaning and significance behind '5cm' is, is something very big. When we have a goal and get closer until everything becomes closer (with a distance of 5cm). Like climbing a mountain, there is a goal and must be closer to achieve it. It takes effort and also great strength and encouragement, for that you must stay focused on the goal.
