What a great perspective on reading and the world. Also it’s nonfiction by a Filipino author. I want more of that!!

I like what this book was trying to do, and appreciated parts of it, but it was written more like a literary Ph.D thesis than a book written for the average reader.

I wanted to hear her ideas but couldn't get into the writing style. The sentences were very long and used vocabulary that made me feel stupid. There was also so much anger radiating in the pages - which is completely fair - but makes it even harder for me to absorb the information. This is the kind of book that would require me to look up definitions/people/outside information while reading and that's not what I'm looking for right now

This is such a great read. Makes me want to read her novel and about half of her bibliography so I can re-analyze the way I read.
