review 1: Let's not even go to the grammatical errors. But wait, I can't help it. "The last grasp of air," "please to meet you," "their love ones," "went down in his knees grasping his breath," etc., etc. this book has serious issues with the past tense. It also obviously wrote a story filled with way too many things left to the readers so a sequel would materialize. There was some promise; the back story, the seeming metaphorical redemption, the nice facts about history and urban planning/architecture. But really. I don't even know how and why they'll make another film about the Film Center that would be original. Basing it on this book, there's really nothing new.
review 2: Annie is an official in the Tourism Department. They planned to reconstruct the haunted Manila F... moreilm Center, so they can build an IMAX theater in it. First, they need to drive out all of its inhabitance before proceeding to its construction. He seeks for the help of Father Nilo, a close friend of her, to exorcise the building. But during their procedures, the unexpected happened.The action started in the first few chapters, enough to say that the book is fast paced. One thing I don't like in the book is its unnecessary explanation of historical background of some places. One example is a lengthy description of a chapel which was not necessary. The chapel in the first place is not a major setting, it was just mentioned then the description comes. It shows that the author researched well but he put in the wrong place.In the first few chapters, Annie is very unlikable. She is very irritating when it comes to her decisions. But you will understand why as the story go on. For me, it seems that Annie and Fr. Nilo have a mutual understand between them. Which is very unlikely with a priest. The author wrote their actions like a couple rather than close friends. Annie came to the point where she will be a round character but the plot took over pushing her back as a flat character. The writing is also not that good. I like how the author pick his words when writing. The Tagalog dialog, for me, added an emotion to their conversation. But what I don't like is the English translation after the Tagalog sentences. He should have written the book in purely Tagalog or English instead.The ending is a huge cliff hanger. It is very obvious that there will be a second book. It should be okay but the ending was full of questions that should be answered, which I think is not that good. But personally I want the answers to the questions, making me wait for the second book.ivanbookworm.blogspot.com less
