the getting better and circles

the two extremely long novels but very interesting.

getting better was story that focused on a normal woman's life with al the complexities the go along with it. funny but very real, real to the point that the details of the story were so intricate that you could imagine that you were in the same as the characters in the story. although the story had a very feminist approach to it, it made guys look so complicated and difficult to understand. when in reality women are almost the same in context, basically everyone is complicated to some extent. the story was very entertaining and very colourful and it got me to really be hoked into reading the story.

smaller circles was a bit dull and cliche' ish.. what i mean is the story feels like it was copied for one of tom clancy's novels. although the setting of the story was plausible to be in the Philippines and the way people are in the story are very Filipino-ish. the twists and problems were just prolonged to the extent that you knew what was about to happen but it was prolonged to the extent that it got boring.

but hey, to each of his own right...
