More About Cebu
Filipino Americans tend to go nuts over this book, but I never got it. I thought it was mostly tiresome, unhumorous, unbelievable, and contrived, especially at the end. I tried reading it again years after I first read it and I couldn't go through with it. Bacho's short story "Dark Blue Suit" is much better. I read this in my Asian American Literature class at the University of Michigan back in 1994. I was stoked to read it, mostly because my parents grew up in Cebu, Philippines. I just wish I liked it more... Not very good. Lacks a purpose. The protagonist is just too pathetic. Will give Bacho another chance though since this was his first novel
