Banta burns way of writing is really good. It drags you deeper and deeper, as if as you continue reading you were already in the scene and til now nobody sees or notices your existence but you know what is happening, you can see everything and you can hear everything, whisper or thoughts, that are being left. realistic dialogue thats also contributed to the essence of the story, it made it like a true to life story.And last, but not the least, is how the published itthe book is skilled so its much comfortable to read anywhere, anytime.The novel was a thrilling detective story.From reading the novel I got to the idea that, the adversary seeks for justice like most of Filipinos (especially those who a re under the poverty line). The police force only pays attention to those cases that will bring them media exposures, I believe this really happens to the kind of society we have now. Justice men should at least look to every case equally.As a student Im also an observer of the happenings in our country and I admit there have been many cases that I watched over the television set that had been solved but it is also true that most of them are cases that touch juicy profile persons. The story opened my eyes to this kind of torture that maybe a lot of people have been experiencing and yet they cant talk about it to anybody so they tend to let it out trough killing/ violence.This novel changes my view of priest from stereotype to more exciting and analytic life of priest. I love reading books but previously I read only those that is written by distant writers but after reading this novel I appreciate it a lot that I am convinced to read more and more Filipino books. My understanding towards people grew deeper and wider. I learned lot of things. The Filipino values that were depicted in this novel were the tight family ties- they continuously search for their love ones even though theres a high possibility that they were dead already, warm family and loving- pictured in the family of Father Gus.
