"It took me a bit to get into this novel. Once I was 100 pages into it, though, I couldn't back out. Hagedorn does something splendid w/the splitting of consciousness of narrators and storyline."
"Great characterization of Fillipino life. The one thing that bothered me a little bit was that the story were only loosely connected. They read more like short stories."
