Summary: meaningful and mysterious..
Review: this novel enchance my thoughts being a filipino. as we all know, Jose Rizal was our national hero in the Philippines, but his novel contains alot of significant deatils which entails a mysterious meaning behind all of his characters. the main purpose of his writings was to establish contact with his fellowmen that the spaniards are colonizing our land, which we could defend ourselves by having equal rights, but they continued to be superior. no wonder, the people, revolt. which s the good thing here. his novel captures alot of good and bad things in their time, presenting history itself and the abuses made by those...friars.
this novel is so perfectly made by jose rizal.

Summary: A powerful book that transends the decades
Review: To understand the Philipina peoples. This book gives a solid insight to the people. Jose' Rizal wrote a very good book in suport of what 'He' saw as problems in his country. For a novel to be good today after several hundered years of age, is saying a lot for a people & Jose'. I highly recomend this book for any one who is studying or married to a 'Philipina', as they call them selves. And I, not being much of a book reader. I would even recomend it, even if you just want a good book to read.
