Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not) by José Rizal

2.0

---

As a Filipino-American, I feel terrible for not giving this classic a higher rating, but I did not like the dragging plot, overwrought prose, or self-conscious descriptions of Filipino culture. Only some of the secondary characters (Elias, Tasio, Dona Victorina) kept me engaged during long trips by car and plane.
