Book Title: She’s The Real Challenge
Author: mr_cuddles
Critique Made by: idanielrubio

•Title:

I can say na sa umpisa pa lang makikita mo na ‘yung reason kung bakit ‘yun ang given title, because it really was connected with the story. Pero sana, sa title may touch of mystery e. ‘Yung mapapaisip sila kung bakit ganun ‘yung title? What’s the reason behind? Yung maho-hook sila and the readers are slowly unfolding the mystery as the story goes on.

•Book Cover:

The book cover is stunning. But I don’t see the relationship with the story. When I was looking at the cover, I was asking myself kung ano bang mga element ang nandun, kung bakit ganun ang cover.

•Blurb:

I love how the author showcased the story in the description, I had a fun time reading it. Nakaka-hook na basahin. Good job!

•Characterization:

I love how you deliver your character in a familiar, yet unique way. Habang nakikilala ko ‘yung mga character sa story, I felt so attached to them. They are relatable . . . and so far, hindi pa naman nila ako binibuwiset.

•Plot:

I like how the atmosphere was built in the story. The mood was light so hindi ako nahirapang basahin siya. Alam mo ‘yung feeling na may touch ng humor pero may direction. Karamihan kasi sa mga story ngayon, wala ng direction kaya parang nakakatamad basahin, but this one alam mo na habang binabasa mo siya may relevance ang bawat information na binibigay.

•Narration/ Dialogues:

I was amazed with how smooth your dialogues are. Habang binabasa ko siya, I am enjoying myself kasi parang nakikipag-usap lang ako sa kaibigan ko. But I wanted to point out the narration, medyo nakulangan kasi ako sa narration ng feelings ng bawat isa. Napaka-concise niya para sa akin and I want more. I wanted to know the characters more. Sobrang fast pacing so medyo nakukulangan ng time ‘yung mga character to provide themselves facts.

•Opinion as a reader:

As a reader, I wasn’t disappointed reading the story. It’s worth the time kasi enjoyable siya. I am looking forward to finishing it. I had a beautiful start and I wanted to know the atmosphere a lot better.
