Finally! Months after the release its release, I was able to read Kapitan Sino. And I am more than satisfied.
Kapitan Sino (Captain Who) is a novel by phenomenal local writer Bob Ong. Just like Ang Alamat ng Gubat, Kapitan Sino is a parody of Philippine Society that emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and discipline as avenues of national improvement. KS however, discussed the paradoxes of power as well which made it, in my opinion, more well-rounded than his two previous novels.
And it has a love story to boot! A first for Ong but judging from the way he wrote it, I would have never guessed it if he hadn't mentioned it on his site.
Written in Ong's signature conversational manner, KS is humorous and satirical, and since the protagonist is a super hero, you can expect action-packed scenes. Despite the funny nature of the book, KS shines forth with its drama, deep insights, and inspiring message.
I'd like to say more but I don't want to spoil it for you; you know what to do *winks*.
