Nag-iisang libro ni Bob Ong na may kopya ako.
Binili ko pa yun sa SM Marilao last summer kasi ncurious ako sa title, sa cover, and sa content. I think many will agree if I say that this is not the best. I finished this one in one sitting. I got bored with some parts but It is actually good. I understand the content and for me that is the most important thing in reading a book. You may not like the story-line but the fact that you understand it's content is more important than liking the story in the book.
I still recommend this to everyone.

Pangalawang (o pangatlo?) pagbabasa ng librong ito (nang buo). 2021. Dati 4 star lang, ginawa ko nang 5.
Kahit na magkaiba kami ng religious views ni Bob Ong (especially pagdating sa attributes ng Diyos), nagustuhan ko pa rin ang pagkakadeliver ng mga idea sa librong ito. Nakuha ko ang gustong iparating ng author, hindi lang sa paksa ng Diyos, pati rin sa ibang aspeto ng buhay. At gaya sa iba pang mga libro niya, hindi boring 'yung pagkaksulat niya sa librong 'to.

Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas' whimsy rate of coded five stars portrays my strong recommendation for its entirety. This must be read by every Filipino - reader or non-reader. Its relevant usage of the seven deadly sins in association with some daily situations that every Filipino is experiencing will completely resonate. My high recommendation is for the youth and students for they are still in the molding progress of their own values.
The strengths of the book are its easy and convenient writing approach making it such a splendid companion for a short read, impressive usage of humor to balance the critical effects that the reader will gain from the roots of the seven deadly sins, accomplished referencing of known Filipino icons from Cardinal Sin to Marvin Agustin, and lastly, is its overall relevance to today's generation. The weakness I found is the union of ideas that can overwhelm the reader due to its lacking centrality.

Tingin ko, isa ito sa mga librong kailangan ko ulit basahin pag dating ng panahon kung saan bago na ang pananaw ko sa buhay.

A mix of memoir and a fictional stories from the author, with chapters that are shuffled letters of the Seven Capital Sins of the Christian/Catholic Church. The topics discussed are related to the said capital sins.

‘Di ko masyadong nagustuhan ‘tong libro na ’to, pero natawa naman ako. Tsaka witty ‘yong pamagat.

“4. Pumili ng theme song. Banggitin ang iyong special request sa suicide note. Ipagbilin na patugtugin ito sa prusisyon ng iyong libing. Iwasan ang mga kanta ng Salbakutah. Dapat medyo mellow at meaningful. Tulad ng mga kanta ng Sexbomb.”
