It does not necessarily take you time to turn over the facts you might find mind-boggling. Reading such stories in different dimensions of time is easy. Sounds familiar, right?Īnother element of the story that held my interest is the way the author weaved the stories from the past and the present together. The next scenes became more gripping when the villain turned out to be a woman, and the boy whom the main character considers his close friend turned out to be a savant. Still, that feeling a twinge of disappointment did not stop me from turning the next pages par for the course.
So, such inconceivable scenario smashed my first impression of that it was a book about children playing in a playground. He, along the other children, looks like inmates in my crime-and punishment imagination. The main character is a young criminal offender accused of stealing the sneakers my foot he is incarcerated in a dreary camp, instead of a social welfare institution, where he will dig holes to build characters upon the judge’s suggestion. You may find the story terribly weird and wonderful. I did not want to be bothered by any living entities, no matter how striking that entity next to me was. Or one time, I seated myself behind the jeepney driver, rigid with terror, catatonic, or apathetic about the existence of the passengers. In effect, I was perched at my table deciphering the idiosyncrasies of the story. When I was absorbed in the middle part of the story, I fancied hanging a leave-me-alone sign on my door. However, when I was on the first pages, I almost wanted to tear up this book in disbelief. My first impression of this book was that it had something to do with children up to some mischief, or a fantasy on a boy, lost in an out-of-this-world dimension like the ones in movies I have watched. You may be imagining a lot of scenarios now. You may even get to thinking of the relevance of its title to the story since it is a children book.
If you take a look at the book cover, you may wonder why the picture is a barren place riddled with crater-like holes.
I happened to get this book for 15 pesos only.
