![]() It's interesting, how the writer (or writers, given the possibility of Bob Ong being a posse of UP professors) weaves all his RL experiences into one short chapter, but throughout the course of reading the book, I felt I wasn't really going anywhere. When the nonfiction writing started, however, that's when I got lost. Like how Marvin Agustin became president, and Tootsie Guevarra became his vice, etc. I particularly enjoyed the opening, the conversation between and regarding what happened to the Philippines after died. I've always been more into structured, carefully played out - if not, contrived - literature. But I guess I'm not used to his casual, write-whatever-comes-to-my-mind style. That means, I also didn't enjoy it very much - which in turn probably makes me part of the tiny fraction of the Filipino population that isn't fascinated with Bob Ong. ![]() Call me slow or whatever you wish, but I didn't get this book at all. ![]()
