I liked this book. Very fresh take on romance writing. It basically follows the same formula for this very commercial genre but the overall structure and the impact of this book are different. Not the usual tiring romance pocketbooks, both in Tagalog or English, that you will find flooding the local market.
For me, these were the reasons why I liked this book better:
1) The writer is a young free-spirited fresh from college male. Marcelo Santos III graduated from PUP in 2011 and revolutionized sto...more

Don't judge. I'm a Marcelo Santos virgin.
I think the storyline is quite okay. I just kind of hate it sometimes, because you can feel that the author is kind of trying to be funny, whilst attempting to state something profound. Channeling Bob Ong, eh? Hmmm. Meh. At some point, I think the author is actually aiming for a Ricky Lee. I just don't know. Maybe, it's just me.

This book is just plain bad.
Sappy dialogues.
Overly Dramatic Scenes.
Predictable stories.
No action.
Too much and too long internal dialogues.
Cheesy lines.

I am not really a fan of Marcelo Santos III . I think his love stories in videos are a little bit cliche and too dramatic for my taste. But this book is surprisingly good for a debut author.
Para sa Hopeless Romantic is divided into 5 interrelated stories. There are 5 narrators and all of them are linked to each other. The first narrator is Ryan who is secretly in-love with his bestfriend and classmate, Maria. The second narrator is Becca who is sort of the usual bitter ex-girlfriend who can'...more

TAGOS SA BUTO.
I'm familiar with Marcelo Santos III's works especially 'Upuan'. I'm so in love with that story. SO, Para sa Hopeless Romantic is beyond amazing. Super ganda! I think it's wise na ipagdugtong dugtong ang mga remarkable na story sa isang book. Anyone who'll read it can relate. Thumbs up!

I've never really heard of Marcelo Santos III before until I saw this book with the very catchy title. It has been a long time since I read another book written in Filipino, with Para Kay B being the last one. At first, I thought this was like a humorous book, but it seemed that I was very mistaken. It wasn't just humorous... I felt a hell of a lot of emotions while reading this book.

i saw this book while browsing around national bookstore. familiar na ako kay marcelo santos III from his 'love story on video' creations, and to be honest, i wasn't all that drawn in by this young gentleman's storytelling style or dialogue.

It was a great book! Though not as much as I expected it to be because I thought the theme of the story is hilarious and fun. Yes, it was fun, I had a huge laugh at the first few paragraphs but little did I know, it wasn't just a story that makes people laugh or you know, just to entertain but the novel teaches a lesson and it is very relevant- something you'd pick to read because you think you are a 'Hopeless Romantic' But when you'll finish reading it,You'll realize that it's a novel that woul...more

Eto talaga yun e. One Big Shot. Ang buhay ay kasing ikli ng three seconds. Grab every opprtunity. Take every chances. Life is too short. Decide now. Lahat ng tao deserve magkaroon ng happy ending at second chance :)
It was never a Cliche...It written in a very Pilipino way.. tyaka every author has its own style in writing... And the story in the book is happening in reality... And it's an inspiring book that will inspire us to write our own story.. our own love story

Being a lover of romance, chick-lit or not, I enjoyed reading this book. Yes, it can be predictable, but I still get giddy when I read of how two people are meant to be together.
Diba??! Nakakakilig kaya yun! : ))
This book was divided into 6 small stories, for each of the six main characters. I tried to think of a favorite, but it's a bit hard. It's not none is 'appealing' enough, but each has its own quirkiness.

Some of my friends have been gushing over this book - especially now that it has been turned into a movie. I was curious as to what the hype was about so after a very long time of contemplating (and as my college friends says, in support of my fellow PUPian), I decided to give this story a shot.
Reading this, I found myself skipping on some parts (well, i think i kind of skimmed the book ✌) still understanding the plot (very predictable; somewhat cliche) and cringing on some lines (some grammatic...more

PSHR is a refreshing take on the usual college-theme romance stories in the market today. I really liked how he intertwined the stories of the five characters, how he effectively uses the Filipino vernacular and how the stories are very relate-able and easy to understand.
Of course it cannot be avoided that such genre will often fall into using a lot of Filipino archetypes and cheesy plots. But the way Marcelo spins it around makes it a worthwhile read. No 'bitchy spoiled girl' antagonist or a se...more

Okay, so maybe I wasn't really informed on what would be the contents of this book, but I was still disappointed that it Marcelo's love story on videos was just published. I was still young when I first read those stories and yeah, I was swooned.
For the story itself, I would've rated it from 3-3.5 but as for the book(+ the fact that I already know the story. It's more of 2-2.5.
Sorry, Marcelo. Not really a big fan of the book. It was just okay.

The book is fun to read. It was well-written. I just didn't like the content very much. What I didn't like about the book is its character's overly dramatic lines. I believe it happens in real life, but does it really go to that extent?
I think one of the main factors why this books sells is that they can relate to it. Somehow some parts of the story happened to them and the author wrote lines and dialogues that a person that is going through this kind of situation cannot decipher.

Now, this was a super quick read.
I'm not really a huge fan of Marcelo Santos III. I watched a few of his youtube videos though I think those are too dramatic, cliche and a bit unrealistic for me. Still, I am really fond of young male Filipino authors. I also believed that Santos is one of the few who are actually deserving to be published.

It's been a long time since I read a tagalog book. The last one I read was 5 years ago.
To be honest I just wanted to read this because of the upcoming movie which will feature my fave love team (okay, self proclaimed JaDine fan here). It also took me 5 bookstores around my area to finally have my own copy.
I must say, PSHR really captivated my heart.

While the stories are very much clichéd, the writing is definitely refreshing. I love how the lines are somewhat romantic but written in the 'modern' way without being too OA and childish.
So many views about love was presented in this book and it's just nice that readers got to take a look at the situations from different perspectives.
Funny that I actually liked the side stories more than the 'main'. And even though I consider all the stories to be predictable in general, I was caught off-guard...more

It's kind of hard to distinguish whether it is a story in a story or the real story. Very refreshing since some Filipino daily words are used. Not really cliche though very predictable. But I do think sometimes the author is trying hard to joke, it comes out kind of awkward. Though there are parts that really made me smile. The characters are cool especially the bestfriend. This book is for the romantic type. This is for the Hopeless Romantic.
