random thoughts
This novel is classified as a chick-lit. I really enjoyed reading this. Di ko nafeel na matatapos ko na pala yung book. hahaha. I can say na I can relate to it kasi so masaya sya basahin. Ganon naman tayo kung san tayo nakakarelate dun tayo nageenjoy. Anyway this novel is about Karen and her world. Advertising agency. Ups and downs of her lovelife. Her friends.
For me the story is realistic. The author cited specific places that made me feel that the story is real. Another is the events in the story can really happen. Like cheating of your boyfriend with your friend, another is there's a part wherein the pitch in advertising is mentioned (which really happens in ad agencies.) The story reflected different things, like some women now are liberated and some men now are metrosexual (or most likely yung pinagkakamalan na natin gay pero di naman talaga.)
Smaller Smaller Circles...
It is a crime fic novel. I also enjoyed reading this, because I'm fond of watching crime scene shows. Kasi naaaliw ako pag nasosolve nila yung crime na given lang naman sila ng small details. The story is basically about the two priest who happened to be a forensic anthropologist and clinic psychologist. They were able to solve the mystery of serial killer.
The author was able to described our country's stand in terms of crimes.
1. Yung incident na naglabas na ng suspect, na hindi pala talaga sya yun. Example nun is yung Nida Blanca case, naglabas lang ng false suspect for publicity or for whatever reason.
2. Another is yung about sa fingerprint, malabo daw na maidentify yung tao. Which is true, di naman automated yung system natin sa fingerprints. Ano yun manually hahanapin nung investigator yung kamatch na print?
3. Media is part of the crime scene. Actually kahit saan naman nandun media hindi lang sa crime scenes.
4. Abused na pero walang ginawa. Or may nawawala na hindi naman nireport. Siguro ang thinking ng mga tao (esp. the lower class) is wala naman sila magagawa since mahirap lang sila. And feeling nila di sila iintindihin pag nagreport sila. So might as well wala na lang sila gawin.
Napansin ko lang sa novel, since crime fic sya dapat napapaisip yung reader kung sino talaga yung killer or what. Kaso masyado given yung details, so ang tendency is may idea ka na kung sino yung killer. And nareveal sya at the middle part of the story. That's why ang effect is parang ang dragging na ng last part.
That's all! :)

hmm... sobrang bias ng justice system dito sa pilipinas, kung sino yung mas mayaman, syempre, sila yung mas papanigan ng mga law makers, wala nga naman sila makukuha sa mga lower class and that's the truth. kya di ko rin masisisi sila kung bakit di na sila nagrereport sa pulis when something happens...
