Reread this today. Oct 11,2023
Rating adjusted based on my current rating system. Dati 5 stars.
Last time na binasa ko to was back in 2012 ata.
Maiksing book lang, madali basahin. Di na sya ganong nakakatakot, tamang creepy at weird na lang. Nabawasan din yung pagiging mysterious nung Latin parts kasi ginamitan ko ng Google Translate. Hahaha

I don't even think this book deserves one star. For one, it is badly-written, in my opinion. I read in some reviews that some jokes in the book weren't funny, I didn't even notice there were any jokes. The whole story was just lazy. Gaping holes just everywhere. He introduced so many characters but didn't bother to explain who half of them were or what their significance was.

Yes, I did get scared at some parts, but I easily get scared, that's not an achievement.

I will say one thing though, I think this story was set in my province. Haha. I don't even know. There's palawan, tuba, and there's this place called Sabang where you go to to get to a nearby island.

It took me a very long time to finish the last few chapters because I don't want to read it when I'm alone. When I finally got to the last page eventually my fingers were cold from fear until the end.

horror na hindi naman masyado nakakatakot...medyo disappointing sa part na yon. maikli lang pero parang ang tagal tagal ng buildup na wala namang satisfying payoff?
