Yet too few...

Cadena de Amor 1 star – I just did not get this. The story is about an old woman who can spread vines (that reminded me of a recent read The Ruins that I really liked) like spreading dust at Sahara Desert. There is a scene when the responding police said: “I should’ve brought the lawn mower!” Hello,...

Pinaka-nakakatawang komiks na nabasa ko so far. Kaya ang rating ko rito ay 4 stars. Bihira lang kasi akong mabigay ng 5 stars dahil baka mabansagan akong nagbibigay ng 5 stars sa walang rin talagang kapararakang books. I mean, 'di rin naman tamang ihilera ito sa One Hundred Days of Solitude ni Gabriel...
