Para Kay B ni Ricky Lee



(O kung papaanong dinevastate ng pag-ibig ang 4 out of 5 sa atin)




I broke my rules.

This was referred to me by close friends and i actually visited the bookstore a couple of times, just looking at the book and thinking and rethinking if it would turn out as a good read. Im not really a fan of tagalog books, even those by Bob Ong (i hate him) who, apparently, is the one reigning the minds and SMS Quotes folder of everyone's cellphone. Yes, i know how you must react to this 'cause obviously you have recieved and loved every quote in his book but darn, i just don't like the way he feeds everyone's insecurities and the way he thinks of reality as if everyone has to die with a wedgie hanging on the person's ass in the end. And that's fucked up.
Anyway that was so off-topic. Getting back to the subject..
This book has 5 love stories written to differentiate the 5 kinds of love known to man. Waiting in vain, Incest, Homosexuality, Slavery and Karma. I find this book quite honest and useful. Although there were times that i'd actually bore myself reading and eventually passing out of drowsiness. Hindi naman sa kulang sa spunk. Some stories were at times interesting and some other times boring. But in the end, i found myself saying "This was a good read after all".

Ill give it a 4 out of 5.
