Book Review Again.
10:58 PM May 08, 2007

Of course you'll have to endure this, and more in the future, considering I've been buying a lot of books lately. So, sit back and take it. Who knows, you just might enjoy it. XD

Now, obviously this isn't my type of book, but a couple of well-read people insisted that it was great, so I decided to give it a try. Well-read people with interesting taste that is.

So to make the long story short, I gave it a shot, although considering the look of it, I admit I started with all the skepticism of the world. But I guess this skepticism made the book seem better, since the book turned out to be admittedly funny, and I wasn't expecting much so my defenses were all down. ^^; I rarely read books that really make me laugh, and although at times I had to wonder why the characters seemed to give more emphasis on romantic relationships than friendly ones, it was still interestingly written most of the time. The author used a lot of unusual analogies, and funny scenarios. And to top it all of, the lead guy has an IQ in the top 99th percentile, plus he's an artist and a very weird and funny character. *nods approvingly* And the lead character herself isn't really love-crazy. She's a bit delusional about some things, which makes everything funnier. And although it took a while to absorb and get into the language, it gets better afterward. No exciting twists or revelations, though. Just a light-read book with an easy-to-get-through language. Well, it was worth a couple of laughs. A good contrast to the dreary life of Rizal. ^^; And I occasionally look for such light-reads especially after studying and putting up with heavy lit. The contrast is good for unwinding the brain. :D Not for guys though. XD
