Helmy Kusuma


Biography

Helmy Kusuma was born into a small family where he spent most of his childhood dreaming and fantasizing about galaxy far far away and being a captain of starship enterprise.

Growing up he met up with the world and its mysterious beings, girls. Thus he spent the next twenty years or so on the precarious subject, man's addiction to these beings.

And so became his first novel.

He panted. Every sip of air seemed to burn his lungs. The air was thick and sticky; it smelled like rotten fish mixed with ammonia. He could feel the rough concrete against his back; he shifted his position and stole a glance at the east ramp. Nothing. Only darkness and stillness. It just made him more alert; the quietness was somehow out of place.

Smashwords book reviews by Helmy Kusuma

  • Sammi Ever After on Nov. 03, 2010
    star star star star star
    Easily addictive, one-in-a-breath reading, couldn't stop until you eat it raw! But it also offers some clever ending and afterthought! Recommended for anyone currently in a relationship, or thinking of having one!
  • Atlantis: A Karmic Memory of the Rise & Fall on Feb. 27, 2011

    Lacks the storytelling aspect. Requires highly curious mind to finish. Overall containing detail accounts on the life on Atlantis.

    A fun read with a good mixture of eastern , greek and superhero comic myth. A sequel is anticipated.

    Loving it!!! You are the god of bookworm incarnated!
  • A Story Almost Told on March 30, 2011

    It didn't do to me. I got bored reading several chapters and couldn't force myself to read all the chapters. Maybe it's the plot or maybe it's the tone.

    Easily flowing, seductive and superb ending!

    Years of repressed passion which yields in outbursts of lust! For enhanced experiences, read by your spouse's side.
  • Keepsakes on April 10, 2011

    The kind of story that hooks you and makes you think... Even with an open ending, well especially with open ending, you are forced to use your imagination... perhaps a sequel on the way?
  • The Final Victory on April 29, 2011
    star star star
    I guess I failed to notice the category when I was buying this book...I am not fond of religion story. This book is based heavily on religious themes: a fight between God and Satan from the Christianity's point of view. From reading several chapters, I surmised that this work could benefit from a little more editing. It's a promising work though, with the suspense and fast-paced story-telling.
  • The Tooth, The Whole Tooth and Nothing But The Tooth on May 03, 2011

    I could not help myself but crack up. This is so funny! And witty. I gulp it all in one sitting. I don't mind reading a longer one. Definitely follow his other works!

    Allen patiently brings me step after step following the intricate details of intermixed motives and plots. He has a methodical and logical approach in bringing the story to the reader, and he makes sure that the reader does not feel overwhelm while at the same time feels entertained. I do not know anything about baseball-craze in US but I still thoroughly enjoy this book. Give it a go.
  • The Devil's Cup (Short Story) on Aug. 03, 2011
    star star star star
    Jesse writes skillfully as ever and catches readers off-guard. The notion of devil working in a cafe is a very interesting thing and he almost makes me think of a certain ending, but he turns and spins it around. I almost feel sorry for the current ending, almost...

    This a gloom version of life where vices and evils lurk in every corner. Unexpected could only be bad. I am hoping for a whiter version, but still Kristina has done a good job on making it seem believable.
  • Death of a Kingdom on Aug. 03, 2011

    After finished reading The Sable City I gobbled this sequel in no time leaving my others-to-be-read screaming in protests. Ed has written a great epic story with a touch of good humor. Why so serious like Zeb would say...I mean Joker. Since The Wind of Miilark has not been released I have ample time to read other books ;)
  • Watering the Tree, Thoughts on Liberty and Tyranny on Aug. 04, 2011

    I got a glimpse of how some Americans thinks about the American way. Fascinating!! And an opinionated one at that...
  • Manitou The Sky People Saga on Aug. 10, 2011
    star star star star star
    This a fun YA read that reminds me of Disney's movie. Not-overly-serious-and-light tone will get you easily turning pages after pages. Lexus builds events slowly and innocently in the most teenage way imaginable. I am not fond of the turn by turn navigation of the story but spiritual is my favorite genre, so I willingly gobbled this one up.
  • Kiwi in Cat City on Aug. 23, 2011
    star star star star star
    This is not only a purrfect bedtime story for your children, but also a welcoming refreshment for hissing adults to tame their stiffness. Funny, mysterious and full of paws! Don't forget to wash your whiskers!

    Alex 'Abuelo' Canton once again breaks the partition between genres and shakes the rigid definition of 'fiction'. This novella, or story, is very refreshing and is a page turner! The plot is light; the characters are sufficiently depicted; the ending is sweet. Well done! Keep 'em coming!
  • The Fishers on Oct. 02, 2011

    If you don't want your view of lazy fishing day be tainted, don't read this book. Once you lay your eyes on page one, you wouldn't be able to stop until the last word. So, grit your teeth and be ready to be scared... Please tell me Erik, that surely there is a continuation for this gem??
  • The Time Travel Journals: Shipbuilder on Oct. 02, 2011

    Marlene has done a wonderful job on weaving the tale of Titanic with that of science-fiction gizmos. She patiently built the story event by event, not rushing, but not losing the tempo. I've been taken on a tour of 20th Century Irish: its landscape, its social structure and its problems I am reminded of Pearl S. Buck. Great book!! Will definitely read Bridgebuilder!
  • Kiwi and the Missing Magic on Oct. 17, 2011

    Kiwi is fun to read as ever! If you are following Kiwi Series closely, you can certainly find the same funny and witty story here, with a bonus, of course. Vickie has included other animals here and they accounts for the clever plot of this sequel. It's not complicated though, but sure you are going to be served with a few surprises. Eeek Fu! My mouth is sealed.
