This is my problem with books that are actually collections of newspaper articles of the author: reading them once again feels like a total waste of time. I know that some people love the idea of having a collection of the articles that they used to read on a regular basis.

I love Jessica Zafra. She may write too much about herself but she gets away with it. Sarcastic but funny without trying. Straight to the point. A no-nonsense read.
A re-read, but definitely, going back the the freshness of her prose years before she climbed to stardom, is worth the sitting.
Jessica Zafra could write about the most mundane topic and still make it interesting with her humor and sharp wit.
So funny! From Manananggal terrorizes Manila to Twisted 8 1/2, she never fails to entertain and inform.
Back in the days, I used to hero-worship Zafra for her acerbic humor.
The first in a series. She writes with mordacious attitude!
Hilarious! Read it from cover to cover. Jessica's sarcasm stings!

I really love Jessica Zafra's wit in writing..
yah! no doubt i love jessica zafra.
Super great essays!
She may be cynical and sarcastic, but she talks a lot of sense and is a really gifted writer. I'm so glad i discovered you, jessica. :)
First Jessica Zafra book I read back in high school. It was fun reading her funny, sometimes sarcastic, thoughts about lots of things.
i may have been, at times, irked with how she writes about herself too much but she writes engagingly. so read, i still do.

I was curious about her. She's weird and cool at the same time.
Find her weird and cool all at the same time.
Sarcasm at its finest. Gotta love her humor.
I worship you, Jessica.
