Good But Not Good Enough But Still Good Though
First of all, the story Smaller and Smaller circles is an interesting story. To be honest it’s the first Filipino novel I ever read and finish. It’s quite good for an investigative genre, but the downfall of it is that it’s too predictable. It has nothing special in it that made me kinda disappointed. Another thing that I didn’t like is that the main investigators of the crime are priests, its weird that’s me anyway and there like sidekicks of some sort (like come on people were so use to this). Saenz is the man that is more likely Gil Grisome of C.S.I. and Jerome is like the ever trustful sidekick. I always see this kinda of things in investigative nobles its becoming cliché already, and there priest for crying out loud priest like come on.
Some things that I observed are that the setting in the story is the Philippines but its not like the Philippines, the places are found in the Philippines but there ambiance is not Philipinish, its like; its happening here but the difference is that American people are the characters. It’s just to westernize the concept, plot down to the characters its kinda annoying. The most annoying part is when this dude talks and described like a surfer dude and a some kind of a black American combined. Where did that came from?That’s sick, it just doesn’t fit.
What makes this type of stories interesting is the way the investigators get to solve the case, like how they put the puzzle pieces in the right place. But in our story’s case they got a lead from a reporter. This is the main reason why I got disappointed in the story. I give credit to the author in giving a good description about the way the serial killer do his thing it was gory and nice.
The serial killer Alex Carlos was kinda awkward for a Pilipino. I think that when we get angry about something we get revenge with the person we hate or something. In Alex case he kills helpless children again it’s not pilipinish. But he kills his victims in such a cool way I give him a perfect 10 for that especially the way he cuts the face of the children that sick.
The moral of this story is that not all doctors are good some of them are out to get us so be afraid be very afraid!
