I want so much to like this book because it’s by a Filipino author. But a few chapters in, I’m frustrated by the lack of character depth, dated vernacular, and surface-level storytelling. But i’ll still try. Maybe things get better eventually.
One of the challenging books that I have set my eyes on. Maraming nangyayari. Too many issues being mentioned. Relevant, still. I somehow felt like I'm not yet the target audience of this book. Still not finished reading it because it's too overwhelming for me. Props to Sir Ricky Lee, though. I felt like the book is written by another person. Hindi ko in-expect na ganito magsulat ang direktor na napapanood ko sa GMA News. IDK if it's because years ago pa kasi ito na-published at nag-grow lang talaga and nag-iba ng writing style si Sir Ricky, kaya hindi na kapareho ng sinusulat at dina-direct niyang palabas like Maria Clara at Ibarra and Green Bones ang feels. Will go back to reading it kapag kaya ko na ulit. ♡´･ᴗ･`♡
