Ito na ang ika-apat at huling libro ng Diary ng Panget series. Nagsimula sa pagkadapa ni Eya sa may Corridor at sa pagtawa sa kanya ng antipatikong si Cross Sandford na naging amo niya, napunta sa walang katapusang bangayan hanggang ang inis sa isa't isa ay unti-unting nauwi sa isang damdamin na parehas nilang hindi maipaliwanag. Ano nga kaya itong namumuong damdamin nila para sa isa't isa? Pag-ibig kaya o gutom lang? Seryoso ba si Cross sa pagtatapat niya bigla ng damdamin niya o nauntog lang niya ang ulo niya nang malakas sa pader? Kung tila mga pusa't asong ito ay papasok sa isang relasyon, ano kaya ang mangyayari? Magkakagulo kaya? Parati pa rin kaya silang mag-aaway? O ito na ang oras na magmamahalan na talaga sila at kikiligin na tayong mga mambabasa? Pero teka, paano kung may umepal? Silang dalawa na nga lang, magulo na, paano pa kaya kung may dadagdag na mas magpapagulo pa?
It is very cliche, which I expected already. It's a book...story, rather, that does not require it's reader to think too much of what the real story is. I don't hate the book, it's totally just fine. And for days that I have been reading the PDF copy that has been being passed by everyone in the office (No papers allowed inside our office), I did find my self hooked up, too. From reading heavy books, mostly classic-considered books (though I don't really finish them because it's too "heavy"), I needed a break. This, is for thos kind of days: when you feel just like plain, err, reading.
Ok hindi ko alam kung ano masasabi ko, una sobra ako natuwa at super ako kinilig sa climax ng story lalo na kela "EYOSS" hehe, kilig talaga ako sa kanila.. I thought for sure magkakatuluyan sila in real life, pero it turns out imagination lang pala ni Eya. Halos nagkaroon ako ng mixed emotions sa story dahil hindi ko expected yung epilogue niya.. Pero kahit papano pinasaya at pinakilig ako ng "Diary ng Panget".. I can't wait to see the movie of DNP :))

Sa 4 na libro ng DNP, ito na siguro ang pinakamaraming nabago sa kwento. Halos buong kwento ay wala sa orihinal na kwento ng nasa Wattpad pa lang ito. Maganda ba ang pagbabagong ito? Marahil, oo. Ang mga pagbabago ay naging dahilan upang mas maging worth it ang pagbili ng aklat na ito. Sa kabilang banda, hindi ko alam kung kinatuwa ko ang twist sa dulo ng kwentong ito.
[DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT MY OFFICIAL REVIEW YET.] I know. It took me forever to get a hold of this book okay? I even had to run to Pandayan Caloocan to get a copy of this book, and the rest of Denny's books like She Died and Voiceless vol. 1 and vol. 2. Thankfully, the security guard let us in even though we arrived so late--they were about to close already.
Yay, because I finally have my copy. And it's time to end the agony. And I hope it's worth it. I haven't been reading in a while because I'm busy at work, but that has nothing to do with DNP 4. I'm just writing an excuse why I haven't been posting anything on Goodreads lately. Haha.
So, I had my sister finish reading this first before I had to read it. I'll write the review later or tomorrow, after I finish it, but right now I'm on page 33 and I'm laughing out loud. HAHAHA. WTH.
Right, so I'll write the REAL review later. Hahaha. *********************** OFFICIAL REVIEW STARTS HERE ***********************
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? DID I JUST READ THIS BOOK WRONG OR IS IT THE SAME FOR EVERYONE ELSE?
WTF.
I CAN'T BELIEVE EYA'S BEEN FOOLING ME ALL ALONG. It's like watching Lovers in Paris (KDrama way, way back early 2000s).
Though I have to admit, kinilig ako sa first few chapters, but it felt like reading Boys Over Flowers.
I guess my rating for the whole series: ★★★☆☆ stars.
I'm really curious on how'll they be adapting this to film. But again, if it were more like the ending of the Wattpad version, it would have made more sense. It was annoying to learn about a character named Ian when his presence wasn't even justified throughout the series, though the additional characters were okay but still huh...and surprising as it may seem and contrary to most who've liked the ending, I don't like how this ended.
It could have been better.

Ang kumentong ito ay para sa Diary ng Panget volumes 1-4 na. =):
Para sa isang babaeng na may edad tatlumpu-pataas (sikreto ang edad), ang babasahing ito ay makapagbabalik sa mga alaala ng kanyang pagiging "teenager." Ang dinagdag lang ay ang mga hirit na minsan lumalabas sa ating mga "thought bubbles" na maari ding lumabas sa mga kinakahiligan ng mga kabataan ngayon na "anime." Nakaaliw din, at nakapagbibigay ng inspirasyon na ang isang panget ay maaring ibigin ng mga mala-mestisong binata, pero sa aking hinuha, nandun pa din sa babasahin ang umiiral na paniniwala ng mga Pinoy sa konsepto ng kagandahan na ang tinitingalang magaganda ay mga mestisa, matangos ang ilong, mayaman etc. Kaisipang kolonyal. Inaapi ang mga pango, maliliit, matagihawat. Buti na lang, lumalaban ang "bida" sa istorya na si Rhea "Eya" Rodriguez, pero kagaya nga ng ibang istorya, ang DNP ay tipikal na "Cinderella story" with twists na palaban ang bida at nasa modernong konteksto.Kung di pa inaayusan at kung di pa "pangloob" na kagandahang asal ay hindi maiibigan.
Babala: Kung naghahanap ka ng isang babasahing malalim at magiging palaisipan, hindi ito ang librong para sa iyo. Kung nais mo lang maaliw panandalian at muling alalahanin ang mga pakiramdam ng :kinikilig ka nung ikaw ay bata-bata pa, maaring sa iyo ang librong ito. =)
Here we go again. First, I bought this book during the Manila International Book Fair (muntik pa ko maubusan nun). Then, the next day, I was really itching to just read it. On the first few chapters, I was like "This is really the best!". I continued reading because I was trying to find something. The part where Cross and Eya thought they were siblings.But I couldn't find it. Then, I finally read the word 'Epilogue'. Seeing the first few words made my heart beat fast. What I thought was right, my favourite part was deleted.I almost cried myself out when I read the epilogue. You know, I got really attached to the story and the epilogue was very saddening.
After reading a few more books and becoming a total bookworm, I thought of the ending of Diary ng Panget 4 again. I have finally realized that the new ending made it more realistic. Made it better, which made me love Diary ng Panget and ate Denny even more. ♥
@IUD*(@#@#*)(!@. THE EPILOGUE. halos ibato ko ang libro ng nalaman ko ang twist sa dulo. Frankly speaking, sana nanatili na lang yung dati. I got the feeling na napilitan ang author lagyan ng bago para naman may katuturan ang pagbili ng book at "para maiba sa wattpad". I also got the feeling na napilitan din ang author na pahabain ang storya for the sake of the 4th book. Bakit kasi 4 books pa? well I can't deny na first wattpad book to na nilabas sa PSICOM, i hope naging 2 books na lang siya parang Voiceless then hindi na kailangang pahabain pa. AND OO, naniniwala akong the term is 'napilitan' lang ang author dahil i also got the feeling na hindi ganun si ate Denny. Kung tama nga ang hinala ko then sayang pala, nawalan ng katuturan dahil mas nagustuhan ko ang sa Wattpad. :( I still love ate Denny and her works, but, I really got disappointed with this one. Kahit naman walang bago, dahil ako makakalimutin ako at it really feels new na mareread ko siya. plus, naipapabasa ko din siya sa mga hindi pa kilala ang wattpad. I wish it was a book i could be proud of. Ano na lang sasabihin ko sa mga pinahihiram ko ng libro? :((((
Sa totoo lang ay masakit para sa akin na bigyan ng ganitong kababang rate ang istoryang ito. Ito ang isa sa mga nagustuhan kong istorya na mula sa Wattpad, pero nang mabasa ko ito sa libro... I expected more kaya ngayon ay sobra akong nabigo ni HaveYouSeenThisGirl.
Binigyan ko ng 3 stars ang una at ikalawang libro ng DNP. 2 stars naman sa ikatlo. At isang star naman sa huling libro. Kung gagawan ko ito ng talahanayan o grap ay mapapansin ang pagbaba ng stars sa bawat libro.
Sobrang dami kong na-encounter na mali.
Hindi ko rin nagustuhan ang pagigingmedyo conyo ni Cross minsan, na aakalain mong babae ang role niya kung hindi mo naman talaga alam ang story. Naniniwala akong marami pang dapat na malaman si Miss Denny tungkol dito. Maraming ding grammatically incorrect sentences akong napansin kaya nagmukhang hindi ito dumaan sa kamay ng isang editor.
Ito ay isa na sa mga pinakamababang binigyan ko ng score at hindi ko akalaing istorya ni HaveYouSeenThisGirl iyon. I'm a fan of Ate Denny, I love her works especially Voiceless and She Died. As what I have said earlier, I liked this story before (its Wattpad Version)but its ending has changed and it is a big disappointment. Right after reading the epilogue, I asked myself, did they change the ending to welcome the DNP Season 2?, which I thought the real-life-story of Eya, not the Eya from the Diary?
I have no idea if I'm right, based on the last words something like ...ito na ba ang simula? someone's telling me that my surmises are right.
If it happens, I will still support it and hoping you'll do better, Ate Denny. I believe in your writing power and I know you can do better. Good luck!
PAKIUSAP! isa lang ang masasabi ko: kung nagenjoy ka sa klase ng pagkakasulat nito, damn! swerte mo!
sana naghanap sila ng magaling na editor, at sana naman di ganun na cliche ang story.
Nabasako sa isang review na galing ang story line ng DNP sa isang manga or something! diba type ng form ng plagiarism un? alam ko din na di considered na plagerism, kung di text by text ang pagkakacopy, or kung thoughts or plot, pero diba ethics parin na wag gawin un, di lng ako sure kung totoo ung nabasa ko. totoo ba?
medyo tumaas lang yung expectation ko kasi yung pinaka twist nya e nawala. sa mga nakabasa ng original version neto which is yung sa wattpad, malalaman yung ibig kong sabihin. isa din kasi yun sa nagustuhan ko sa original na kwento. wala, edited version na to e, pero maganda pa din naman sya. kinilig pa rin ako sa mga part na kinakiligan ko nung nasa wattpad. :)
The end of the story. It was still fun and all and there's conflict this time with an actual love rival (Lory was too nice and understanding to count and Eya never had a chance with Chad to begin with). The jokes still made me laugh (but the somewhat offensive once were kinda... it's weird reading this today) and some of the references show the story's age. The love story between Cross and Eya was kinda annoying though with them acting like weird tsundere in a way that it's like they don't know what they wanted even though they have made a decision. I can't explain it properly but for some reason it just got like that after the finally admitted they feel something for each other which made some scenes sorta unbearable. It's all cliche and there were the moral lessons and all typical of stories like these and I thought it was ok.
But the epilogue. The actual ending of the story. It caught me off-guard and suddenly everything made so much sense. It was strange but it's also pretty funny. I liked it.
As a whole (from 1-4), it's a fun and simple book that didn't try to be too deep or acted like it was something else and it's why it was fun to read. It was dumb, it was cliche, it had romance, it had comedy, it had done what it wanted and it was enjoyable.
I read this all within a day. Loved the little fanart on every book. But 'yung plot twist na nasa diary lang pala iyon? Bitin!! Wish there was season 2 or something, or like special chapter. Maybe on the full book ver. meron pero I read this on the book with different parts, do'n walang special chapter.

Okay, alam kong medyo mababa ito kesa sa boto ng karamihan. Let me explain.
Alam kong hindi ko dapat ipagkumpara ang bersyon na ito sa nabasa ko sa wattpad, pero hindi ko matigilan -- IPINAGKUMPARA KO. Swak sa akin ang both versions. Laftrip, hindi kailangang mag-isip, pampalipas oras. Hindi nakakastress ang story. Maganda ang changes na ginawa niya, nakakabuhay ng loob at masarap basahin.
BUT THAT ENDING. THAT FRIGGIN' EPILOGUE.
Hindi ko pwedeng isumbat kay Ms. author -- HaveYouSeenThisGirl -- na hindi dapat ganoon ang ending. Wala akong karapatan magsabi, dahil siya naman ang nagsulat at hindi ako. Pero...pero... BAKIT GANOON? Lubha akong nanghinayang.
Sa isang iglap, parang gumuho ang buong story. Ang "progress" ng mga characters at ang build-up...WALA. NAWALA. NAWALA.
Sa totoo lang? Muntikan ko nang ibato yung libro. Pero 'wag, sayang naman yung Php 150 pesos.
Yung EPILOGUE/ENDING na siguro yung PANGALAWANG pinakafail moment ng DNP. Yung una?
YUNG NAWALA YUNG AWESOME PARTICIPATION OF MY FAVORITE CHARACTER NA SI MEMO CLARKSON. Di pa rin ako makaget-over doon. Okay naman si Ian, pero hindi niya napanindigan eh. Mas cool pa rin talaga si Memo.
Sayang ba? Hindi. Maganda ang story. Masarap basahin. Kung hindi mo nabasa ang wattpad version, naiinggit ako sa iyo. Swerte ka dahil hindi ka manghihinayang ng ganoon.
Overall: 3.5. It's a decent read. If you don't want to be stressed out and just want a turn-off-your-brain kind of story, this one is for you. Kung okay lang sa iyo ang cliche basta nakakakilig, go!
MY ADVICE: 'Wag seryosohin. Story nga, hindi ba? Iyan ang rason kung bakit andaming mahilig magcomento ng masama sa mga story: huwag niyong asahan na mala Dante's Inferno or Victor Hugo's Les Miserables lahat ng story na mapupublish. People write differently, they have their own way of expressing themselves through words.
I am a huge fan of DNP. The simplicity and the funny antics of Eya was, indeed, stress-relieving. She's the type of character that I love to read in every story-humorous and strong. I've read Diary ng Panget loads of times on e-book and I must admit that it was way better than the book version. I am a huge fan of the author. I'm a Dennysaur! But I have to be honest on this review. I don't wanna be biased. I've noticed so many informalities on the book version. I saw a few typo errors (what's the use of editor, by the way?) And to my astonishment, I even saw emoticons, for heaven's sake! That was the first time I saw an emoticon on a paperback novel. I mean, emoticons can be acceptable online. But we're talking about a published novel here.
I just admire Ate Denny because she had maintained the wacky and "kilig" effect of the story. It never faded. Furthermore, the ending really shocked me! It was soooo unique! I mean, I didn't see it coming. Though it gave me a heartache, I still think it was an exemplary move on the writer's side. The story was something that can't happen in real life. You know, stuffs like a poor and ugly girl having an oh-so handsome, prince charming-material boyfriend. It was so dreamy, wasn't it? But boy, Ate Denny ended the story in the most realistic way possible; achingly realistic!
I'd like to congratulate the author for a job well done! And of course, for the movie adaptation of this story. I personally watched it on cinema and I am a living witness of how the viewers reacted and gone crazy while watching (I was one of those crazy people, by the way)
I hate to say this pero I really got disappointed with the last book. I like how the story started and how it was revised. Natuwa ako kasi nawala na 'yung mga sobrang unrealistic na descriptions sa mga bida gaya ng hindi pagkakaroon ng cellphone ni Eya, weird Memo and some stupid school policies and admission guidelines. Kaya nga sobrang excited ko para sa last book but what I've seen was a great disappointment.
Somehow it became more realistic because at the end of the story (yes, I'm talking about the epilogue) we've found out na hindi naman pala sobrang kawawa si Eya. May bestfriend siya, mga magulang at hindi kailangang mamasukan bilang kasambahay para lang makapag-aral. What I really hate about it is the fact na sobrang layo pala ng "imaginary Eya" sa "totoong Eya". Imaginary Eya is strong and so much true to herself. But the real Eya seems to be full of insecurities that she end up creating her own identity. And most importantly,she is a fan girl of Cross! The reason why I like Diary ng Panget more than Voiceless is because of the main character's attitude. I don't know why but for me, it totally ruined everything... :(
I just hope this won't be the ending for the movie version. (Or maybe she did that because the movie will be based after the epilogue? Nah... I just hope the movie will be better.)
co-comment na'ko kahit hindi paperback version nabasa ko pwede? :) i'm in my late twenties and i'm reading this stuff. so? hehe. yan ang napapala ng mga nakikisabay sa uso. hehe. ngayon ko lang din nalaman sa goodreads na may iba ibang version pala istorya neto (dalawa ata?) yung sa (original) wattpad at tsaka yung published book(newer version). maraming (violent) reactions sa published book ah, mas maganda daw yun dati. well i think i've read the wattpad version. habang binabasa ko, puna ako ng puna sa sobrang ka-OAhan, kakornihan ng story at may mga errors in sentence construction pa. pero wag ka, go pa rin ako ng go.. napansin ko rin na minsan halos magkakapareho na ng ugali o istilo yung mga characters na parang di ko na sila ma differentiate sa bawat isa. basta! hehe. pero bilib ako sa nagsulat at kahit predictable, cliche etc ang story nya, nakaka engross pa rin! hindi mo kasi mamamalayan na later on na eenjoy ka na pala and napapangiti ka na bigla minsan tatawa pa. at! ngayon ko lang din naman nalaman hehe na teenager pa pala sumulat nito! nakakabilib. galingan mo pa iha!
