José Rizal: Life, Works, And Writings Of A Genius, Writer, Scientist, And National Hero (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
I'm reading this for my Rizal subject in school, and even though it's the best Rizal book I've found, it's still horribly written. The entire book is like crudely written fanfiction typed in the wee hours of the morning by a hardcore Rizal fanboy. Most of the passages are patronizing and distracting. It's like the whole book focuses more on the author gushing about Rizal, telling us how much of an awesome, unparalleled genius he is, and oh! that he's the greatest Filipino to have ever lived. Yeah, okay. Rizal is cool. I get it. Now can we please focus on his life, his works, and how all this has affected Filipino life and culture? Give me a break. Reading for Rizal Course*****Dr. Jose Rizal may be our dear national hero and we look up to him but he lived (or at least wants to) a normal life like us Filipinos. He traveled to so many places and keeps record on them (sketches, letters, journals, etc), furthermore, he carved his name in the book of history. He also, like all of us do, fell in love (yeah, he was kinda flirty hin his way =_='). He became a notable person not only in the Philippines but as well as in many other countries. He is remembered until now and probably in the future.Thanks to that, we have this Rizal Course in our program which I currently failed during the prelims period... It's just I want to enjoy reading this as reading a story book but the course won't allow me!! T_T
