novel.. novel.. novel..

Sorry again for this late post of blog, the have finished two novels. “Reconnaissance” by Tara F. Sering and “Smaller and Smaller Circles” by F.H. Batacan.


Ill talk about my reaction on the first novel, now I know why miss pick the guys to report about this novel since Reconnaissance is a chick-lit novel. Well for me it was a bit hard to understand the novel at first, since it is a very short novel I had the chance to read it again. This novel made me realize that it’s not easy for girls or should I say women to move on that easily on a break-up situation, they go to different ways or experimentation just to forget the hurt that they are feeling inside.

Well this story was written by an author who is writing an article on a magazine for women which is the cosmopolitan magazine so its easy to guess that her approach of writing the novel is really for women, and the language that she used and also she used a first person that is like a third person view. Confusing? Well it’s hard to explain on how she write the novel. But the novel was nice even if I’m a guy who read the story, usually guys won’t appreciate chick-lit novels, well it worked for me. If I’m going to rate it, ill give this chick-lit an 8 out of 10.

Let’s go on the second novel which was the longer novel than the first novel that I have read. The “Smaller and Smaller Circles”, this novel was great because where can you read a crime novel that the crime solver was two priest, I admit that when I read the first few part of the novel I got bored with it because if I’m going to see it in a movie it’s all talking and talking and talking. But as the I get closer to the end of the book the scene is getting better specially on the chapter that the two priest are close to see who the criminal is, but as discussed on class the story was like spoon-fed to the reader because of some extra words that the author added to the novel some said that on the middle part of the novel they already know who the killer was, because on the novel there 5 or 7 page that has a quote that is in italic font so the reader will know that he/she is killer and the clue symbols the author used is easy for the reader to find out who the killer was. Well for me it worked again for me the novel was nice.
