![]() ![]() The book's main characters (the four boys) subtly appealed to me in spite of their rough personalities, they held innocence, kindness, and dreams in their hearts. ![]() Over-all, it contains the heavy reality of poverty in the Philippines and everything that comes with it (such as crimes, lack of education, drug abuse, and health problems). Though it does make me smile from time to time, Macarthur lacks the usual light humor I've come to expect from Bob Ong. It eventually arrives at a long climax as one by one, the boys are faced with the consequences of their actions. The story follows their troubled, angsty ways, while exploring their soft and broken souls. Written in 'Taglish' (Tagalog + English, a trademark of the author), Macarthur is a fictional story of four boys living in the urban outskirts. ![]() Bob Ong once again gives us an entertaining wake-up call in the dark tale " Macarthur". ![]()
