Sa totoo lang, medyo nainis ako sa book na to. Una sa lahat, ang dami kasing pagkakamali sa grammar. Naiintindihan ko naman na hindi lahat ng tao may perpektong grammar, pati nga ako nagkakamali minsan kapag nag-eenglish eh. Kaso, yung mga pagkakamali sa grammar, yun yung tipong masyadong halatado. Kahit siguro mga readers na nasa elementary pa lang kaya nang matukoy yung mga errors sa paggamit ng tenses at pronouns. To think na mga top students ng batch nila ang ang gumagamit ng ganitong paraan ng pag-iIngles? Nakakahiya. Di kapani-panipaniwala. Di tugma sa ginaganap nilang katauhan. College na sila for Pete's sake, and to make things worse, pinalaki pa sila sa mga mayayamang pamilya. Dapat naman sana naging fluent na sila sa English sa ganung lagay diba?Pangalawa, typos. Maraming mali sa spelling, pati na rin sa lyrics nung mga kinanta nila. For the second time, masyado na namang obvious yung mga yun.Panghuli, hindi naging ganun ka-exciting yung mga pangyayari dahil may pagkukulang sa conflicts, kaya ang nagyayari, nawawalan na ng thrill yung kwento. If I'm not mistaken, iisa pa nga lang ata yung kontrabida rito.On the bright side, medyo na-enjoy ko naman yung kwento. Nakakatuwa yung mga characters, at the same time nakakakilig. Yun na lang, dahil di masyadong naedit nang mapublish itong librong to, hanggang 3 stars na lang ang maibibigay ko. WOW! It's Amazing!I really like the story of this book. It made me cry and laugh. Though, most of the times, it made me "kilig" to the highest level. I love the characters especially Daryl and Tiffany. They are cute and funny whenever they're teasing each other. Only in this book I find the "Bebe Girl and Bebe Boy" not irritating. Because most of the lovers used different kinds of names to call their loved ones like Baby, Beh, Babe and so on but I find it irritating and intimidating. I don't know why. But, maybe because it's very childish to use that word. But now, I find it cute and funny. HAHA!How ironic! Never in my life I used the "Bebe" to call my classmates because they're using that word to call each other. But now, I'm used to that word. I'm calling them "Bebe" now and I'm comfortable with that.The songs "The story of Us" and "Just a Dream" made an impact to me. I love the songs and I'm glad that they chose that songs for their project. I hope I can watch their music video.The consistency of "kilig factor" in the story is the reason why I gave it 5 stars. If you want to know what are those "kilig moments" you better read this and give it a shot! The ending is perfect.
What do You think about Campus Royalties (2013)?
Nakakinspire :) Kilig Much. bebeboy and bebegirl :*
