And in the end, I knew why the title was as it is. I couldn’t help but empathize with how the lives of the characters turned out. This is the first of Bob Ong’s books that, despite the funny capers, I grew sad over reading it. MacArthur rubs in the issue of poverty, graft and corruption, theft and drug addiction. Why you may ask? Because it’s deeply sad and yet heartwarming.Īt first, I was questioning, “Why is the title ‘MacArthur’?” What does he have to do with the book? But I knew I had to be patient when it comes to Ong’s book, because surely, there’ll be a surprise in the end.Īnd I was right to have thought so.
This is my ultimate favorite among Bob Ong’s books.
