Her name is Momoxhien Clarkson. She loves Syntax Error, her favourite band. She meets them in a very embarrasing situation. She gets to work for them and she discovers a lot of things about her favourite band.
Then... suddenly her life gets complicated. From a fan turns to a friend and... also a lover.
But when she discovers more... can she bear all of it?
I couldn't stop myself comparing this book to DNP at first. DNP has much more 'kilig factor' perhaps because of the scenes that Eya and Cross start to feel something—having mutual understanding with each other. Another thing is, despite of her looks, she gets to be attached with rich and handsome boys like Chad and Cross. There are also some scenarios that make me laugh esp. the 'malandi' side of Eya which she as well stated in the book.
Going back to Voiceless, it's about a #zero fan named Momo who is a powerful character that tends to be straight forward when it comes to her feelings for Sync, vocalist of Syntax Error. She really sacrificed a lot for love's sake, giving everything she could give.
A deep story which some characters are pain in the ass that causes damages to other characters. The story also doesn't revolves bet. Momo and Sync. It's not only story about their relationship but also relationships among the band, between two band members, between the band managers, and such.
Kung sa DNP, kinilig ako, dito naman kinilig ako then ininis, then kinilig then ininis na naman. A lot of exciting connection and disconnection which I think really effective because the scenes got me carried away though some of the them were predictable. In addition, many revelations on the latter start to unravel as I keep on reading the book.
I found the story quite long if it will be put up in big screen. It will be also harder because of songs that will be used which I think are essential for some scenes.
Habang tumatagal, I start to appreciate the story and I learned few things in life and love. I come to think that kapag nagmamahal ka, okay lang na masaktan kahit na nagmumukha ka ng t*nga. At sa kahit anong nagawa niyang mali, kung mahal mo siya, handa kang magpatawad. That's the power of love can do.
Albeit there are many conflicts among the characters, still they are resolved, everyone is heard and has happy ending... except of course... to a certain person who remains voiceless.
Mataas ang aking expectations sa librong ito, hindi lang dahil sa popularity nito kundi dahil din nabasa at nagustuhan ko ng sobra and isa pang series na sinulat ng author nito. Ngunit bumaba ang tingin ko sa Voiceless nang mabasa ko ang buong storya.
Sa umpisa, interesting ang storya. Ito ay tungkol sa isang babaeng hindi sinasadyang magkaroon ng nakakahiyang eksena sa harapan ng maraming tao at nag-end up na isang personal assistant ng kanyang paboritong banda, and Syntax Error. Siguro nagamit na ang ganitong idea, pero ito ang unang beses na makabasa ako ng libro tungkol sa isang fangirl na naging lover ng kanyang favorite celebrity. Para lang siyang isang fairytale.
At 'yun na nga ang problema. Sobrang perpekto ng storyang ito na para na siyang fairytale.
Siguro nga hindi naman siya ganun ka-perpekto. May mga paghihirap na pinagdaraanan ang mga characters ng storya na ito. Lahat sila ay mayroong minamahal na nais nilang makasama. Ang pinaka-main character ng Voiceless na si Momo ay ang iyong typical love story protagonist. Siya ay hopelessly in love kay Snyc, ang lead singer ng kanyang paboritong banda, ngunit hindi niya maabot ang pangarap niyang maging kasintahan ito dahil sa isang hadlang na nangangalang Iris. Syempre iisipin niyong hindi naman talaga flawless and storya ni Momo kung mayroon siyang karibal, pero alam naman nating lahat na sa huli ay magwawagi si Momo. Halata ring ang ibang characters ay magkakatuluyan sa isa't isa. Napaka-predictable.
Lahat ng main characters (ang best friend ni Momo at ang iba pang Syntax Error members) ay may nakatuluyan. At syempre, ang mga naging boyfriend at girlfriend nila ay kapwa main character din. May isang couple na halos ilang araw pa lamang magkakilala ay mag-syota na agad, at si Momo naman, kahit hindi pa naman niya masyadong nakakasama ng matino si Sync, mahal na niya agad. Masyadong fast-paced ang romance dito, kaya napaka-unrealistic. Tulad nga ng sinabi ko, perpekto ito masyado kaya walang ni isa sa mga main characters ay walang kasintahan.
Medyo flat din ang mga characters. Halos lahat sa kanila ay walang characterization. Kumbaga parang wala silang depth. Ang nakikita lang natin sa kanila ay kung ano sila ngayon. Hindi pinakita sa atin kung ano ba talaga ang pinaggagawa nila sa buhay nila bago sila bumuo ng banda o naging fans nito. Si Iris, parang walang katauhan. Parang antagonist lang talaga siya, ang panggulo sa love story nina Momo at Sync, panira sa Syntax Error, at wala nang iba. Wala rin masyadong character development.
Opinyon ko lamang ito, kaya sana maintindihan niyo. Pero sa tingin ko naman kahit maraming flaws ang storyang ito, kung mahilig naman kayo sa romance, magugustuhan niyo ito.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
Huhuhuhuhu nakakalungkot (alangan namang may umiiyak na masaya di ba? ah, meron siguro yung tinatawag na tears of joy pero ito hindi!) Kung ang "Diary ng Panget" ay nagawa akong patawanin ng halos wala ng bukas at muntikan ng mabaliw (oo pinalutang nito ang utak ko eh, nagtravel sa outer space at nakakilala ng isang martian na ang pangalan ay martian law. okay korni na =_=). Itong "Voiceless" naman ay paiinisin at bigla bigla ka nalang paiiyakin. Pero ito yung tipo ng babasahin na kahit nagagalit ka na eh di mo magagawang di tapusin, puro mystery at magugulat ka nalang sa ibang rebelasyon o kaya naman sa ilang di inaasahang kaganapan. Husme! Papalakpak ka parin naman sa ending! Kahit alam mo na kung ano talaga ang patutunguhan maeexcite ka parin na mabasa yun! Idagdag narin natin dito ang sandamakmak na awitin wooohooo ang saya lang! Ang bigat sa dibdib ng kwento =)
When I first encountered the book, I was curious as to why it is entitled, Voiceless. But after reading the book, I can now finally say, that I agree with the author.
When we voice out our voice of reason/opinion, whether it is the truth or not, we are often ignored by the people around us, because let's face it, the truth is that, people will only listen to the things they want to hear. They would rather be, be deaf to the truth than to face reality.
I like the character of Momo because she has a strong sense of loyalty towards the people she cares about, on the other hand, I kinda disliked Sync's personality for being to hard headed, but hey who can blame the guy, when he fell in love to a girl who only used him? Not his fault I guess.... But dang, his too blinded when it comes to love....tsk...
I like Kevin Sy, his sweet, but I dislike him for having feelings for Momo so suddenly!
My favorite character would be Mirko... I love his cool and happy go lucky personality! Plus his half Italian! Dreamy!
So far its a predictable story.... Buy I like the slow progress between the two main character because its not an instant love.
Natuwa talaga ako sa story na to kasi kahit fiction lang siya eh parang nasa reality talaga kapag nagbabasa ako, yungfeeling na Pang MMK ang dating.
Sino nga naman ang hindi matutuwa sa pag babasa nito? kung sa plot palang eh maa-attract ka na diba? kaya kung mababasa mo to Ate denny, papalakpak ako w/ standing ovation pa.
Kasi dito mo mapapatunayan ( Kahit fiction lang ang story na to ) eh walang imposible, mapa real world man o imagination mo, basta ba Love eh maraming nagagawa.
And bilib talaga ako kay momo kasi kahit anong tabuy sa kanya eh kaya parin niyang panindigan ang pagmamahal niya kay Sync, yung bang pag dating sa love eh wala talagang imposible.
Kaya tatapusin ko na ang mala MMK na to. basta proud na proud ako sayo ate enny ( Kahit di tayo close, at di mo ako kilala sa Cyber world mn o sa reality ), pero kung bibigyan ako ng chance na pumunta diyan sa lugar mo eh pupunta talaga ako, Congrats rin pala sa DNP book :D
This is the best fangirl story ever. I repeat, THE BEST. This story was amazing. Sobrang linaw ng story. Wala kang tanong like, "Anong nangyari kay ganyan?" or "Pagkatapos? Anong sense nun?" 'yung mga ganun. Kasi bawat scene sa story nabibigyan ng justice at pagkatapos mong basahin, wala ng maiiwang tanong sa'yo. Two thumbs up, Ate Denny! Sana kapag naging libro 'to ganito pa rin ang ma-feel ko sa Voiceless. :)
Aliw factor = 100 percent. Mas maganda ang kwentong ito kumpara sa Diary ng Panget-- para sa akin haha.
Ang totoo, nakagawa na ako ng review para rito noon (sa kasamaang palad ay bigla na lang naglaho na parang bula) na sa sobrang kahabaan at kapulaan ay hindi ko na kayang isulat muli. Isa pa, baka masapak ako ng mga fan ni author kapag pinilit ko pang alalahanin ang mga isinulat ko noon :)
Team Kevin nga pala ako. Magpapaka-totoo na ako pero ngunit subalit hindi ko gusto si Sync, and lalaking pangunahing tauhan sa kwento. Bukod kasi sa hindi ko mabigkas ang mala-alien n'yang epelyido?? eh napaka- 'two-dimensional' ng kanyang karakter. Sarap lang n'yang kutusan, pasalamat s'ya gwapo s'ya (Kamukha ba naman ni Choi Jong hoon n ubod ng gwapo hahaha)
Anyways, Kudos kay author for making her Diary ng Panget on the big screen :) You deserve it and keep making stories :)
I hate Sync. But then I loved him again nung nag-Korea siya at kumanta ulit. I love it nung sumali pa rin si Momo sa Runaway. Ang astig at cool tignan kahit na ang rebellious.
Lol. I don't like this fic at first because I'm not that into fandom.. but what hooked me is Momo's love for Sync. :D
Ang KJ ng ending kasi si Kevin.. wala lang. Talagang pinanindigan yung title. So parang ayun nga, kung may masaya, may magsusuffer pa din? :3 It's a cycle?
*sigh*
I love your works, Denny. You got me addicted to them. Can't wait for Memo's story. :)) Feeling ko mas tricky ang pagsulat nun.
This is a very touching BOOK in Wattpad, Ito ang pinakamaganda sa lahat ng gawa ni Ate Denny, Para siyang MUSICAL BOOK, Wahaha! Even though hindi ko naririnig ang kanta nila, Nadadama ko ang tunay nilang nararamdaman.
Writing Style? Wala akong masabi dahil maganda at agad ko itong naiimagine. Ending? A very Common but with Ate Denny Style of Writing masasabi mong maganda ito at hindi ka mabibitin. Satisfied ako sa PLOT AND ENDING nito kaya i give 5 stars with this wonderful NOVEL in Wattpad. :)
Hmmm, I really dunno what to feel. Tbh, I was just so bored, so I tried looking for something to read then *poof* I found this one. (because apparently Tendai is with my brother, oh how I have missed him*referring to Tendai* haha plus my brother too hehe)
I am not really sure if I liked this or not because I find the characters 'OA' (sorry). Uuuugh this book was frustrating, but I am willing to give the 2nd book a chance though. My rating is in between 2.5-3 so yeah.
First book na nabasa ko na pang musical ang peg. Dito lang ako nainis sa bidang guy na walang ginawa kundi ireject at saktan ang bidang girl. Ito namang si girl, tiis lang sa attitude ni guy dahil mahal niya ito at siya nga daw kasi ang no. Zero fan ng Syntax Error.
Hate na hate ko si Sync umpisa pa lang pero nung bandang sa huli naawa at nagustuhan ko na rin siya. Kay Momo naman, ay naku naiinis ako sa katangahan niya pero wala ganun talaga pag nagmamahal.
Ang galing ni author dahil naipakita niya kung paano nagbago si Momo(bidang girl) dahil sa ginawa sa kanya ni Sync (bidang guy). Kinabahan talaga ako sa ending nito kasi gusto ko sila magkatuluyan. At sa awa ni author haaha, happy ending naman. :))
I'm related to this kind of a story. Being a fan girl, nakakaloka. Gusto mo ng bilhin lahat ng albums and posters nila, and even concerts gusto mo puntahan lahat. Nakakarelate ako sa pagmamahal nya sa isang member ng band ng syntax error. being a die hard fan is normal. na kahit anong mangyari, ipaglalaban mo sila. na kahit may tsismis about them , sila parin ang bias mo. :)
4 stars. Kasi malaki ang improvement sa writing style ng author in comparison sa DNP. Di masyadong kakaiba ang istorya pero halatang mas pinagtuunan ng pansin (may subplots na!). Isa pa, the injection of song lyrics in every chapter is pretty ingenious. Congrats Denny. It is nice to know that there are young authors who can get Pinoy teens hooked into reading. Continue honing your craft. :)
i like it better than DNP..mas may lalim yung story but still with the same funny and enjoyable storytelling..good job to the author. the whole story is...inspiring. :))
4 stars for the Wattpad version and 3 stars for the published book. This book is better than her 'Diary Ng Panget' but I love the Wattpad version more. PSICOM what happened?
Isa nanamang maganda at light na libro mula sa malusog na utak ni Denny. Hindi ito katulad nung mga usual na rugs-to-riches na mga kwento o yung tungkol sa panget na may love interest na poging lalaki, etc etc... Ang nakadagdag din talaga ng entertainment factor ang mga featured songs dito. Andami tuloy nadagdag sa playlist ko dahil sa librong 'to. Paborito ko yung Check Yes Juliet at Shut Up! Mukhang pareho talaga kami ng taste ni Denny tapos anime lover din siya, nakakatuwa! :3
May mga typo errors pa sa libro pero konti lang naman at alam kong di maiiwasan yun. Pero ang hindi talaga makapagpatahimik ng kaluluwa ko ay sa kung papaano na-in love si Sync kay Iris ng labis? Ano yung motivating force para paniwalaan niya si Iris ng sobra-sobra? Gusto ko din kasi maramdaman at maunawan ang character ni Sync e. Honestly, I ship Momo and Kevin in this book. Pwede naman yun e, tapos sina Momo at Sync naman ang OTP ko sa 2nd book. Yieee! Sabik na kong sumugod ulit sa bookstore at bilhin ang Voiceless 2! Baka doon ko din mahanap ang closure na hinahanap ko kay Sync.
When you ask Denny's fans, they'll say Voiceless is her best work. It pokes around the idea of fanaticism - how many Filipinos are attached to the actors, singers and celebrities they're a fan of. Denny attempts to reflect on it masked in a layer of a funny love story between a band's lead signer and an obsessed fan.
It could have worked better if it's written a bit more seriously, and only in one point-of-view, which is Momo's. Momo provides the perspective on how life under the spotlight can be, and how by being asked to be Syntax Error's P.A. she discovers that the band members, especially her crush Sync, are human too. Maybe Momo's character was too young to tap into that potential and could have made the story more smart-sounding if she had moments of maturity and reflection.
The writing style isn't good and the characters weren't that likable. The story could've been more entertaining but there were so many cliche situations that ended the way I thought they would and it was hard to finish reading even thought it wasn't even that long. Some parts were interesting though especially when it came to characters that weren't the main leads and the little mystery in it also had me wondering enough to go through with reading the entire thing.
