Veron’s Reviews > The Revolution According to Raymundo Mata > Status Update

Part 3 contained the moment the book had been building towards and it was executed so well. This has been one of my most pleasurable reading experiences so far. Subplot involving the scholars is intriguing.

Done with Part 2. Journal entries more structured as it goes about Mata's time as a student in Manila. Lot of laughs still. "He was tall, muscular, and comely", referring to at this point, mythical Rizal. Love the perspective of someone who was initially sidelined from the revolution.

finished part 1 of 5. with the form and pace this is going, i'd prefer spreading my reading throughout this whole month. getting a lot of laughs out of the footnote bickering but the themes aren't hooking me in just yet.
