There are different kinds of humor in this world. And like love, humor needs to have a certain chemistry with the audience.
Well, there's this certain kind of humor in Bob Ong's novels. For your better appreciation or understanding, his humor is like the Hangover movie. Or, the Horrible Bosses. Something not very sensical, but something that knows your funny bone. Bob Ong's like that. For me, at least.
I'm not really a fan, but I do appreciate some of his writings. To name some of his books that got me smiling and laughing are Abnkkbsnplako? and Stainless Longganisa. They are both light, funny and sensical. And with the cover of his newly released book, Lumayo Ka Nga Sa Akin, you'll know there's another humor instored for us.
Honestly, I haven't read the book yet nor have I seen it first hand. I haven't really dropped by a bookstore recently for the reason that I'm a bit tight financially and buying a book is not really an option. But seeing the cover really intrigued me. If only I knew this earlier, I could've wished this one for our exchange gift. I'm curious. And mostly I'm longing to experience another Bob Ong humor. That Bob Ong humor to be specific. I wish I could get the same funny feeling that I got with the two novels aforementioned. I missed that experience, which was not present in all of his books.
