I genuinely loved most of the poetry in this book. It really gives an interesting and unique perspective from the author. There were a few pages that were a bit difficult to understand as far as what it was about specifically. Generally speaking, though, this book was well-written and articulable. The various patterns in which the poems were written were all unique, which I thoroughly enjoyed and think it provides some insight as to how much thought and effort went into the book. There were little to no typos or errors that I noticed. The different subjects for the poetry was relatable to the typical reader and the way that the author writes provides the reader with some self-interpretation with feelings. The book could use some better context on a few of the poems that were written. Other than the one and only negative thing that I said about the book, I have no other complaints. The author did a good job of capturing the feelings well— generally speaking— while allowing readers to use their imagination to sympathize or empathize with what the author is portraying the poem to be and its purpose.

I think the author does an absolute great job at capturing the reader(s) attention in most of the poetry written. I feel that it provokes genuine emotion, sympathy, and even empathy to what message or story that the author is trying to convey to the reader(s). Overall, I feel that it was a very good book. I feel like with a few tweaks, I would definitely rate it a five star book. This book was well worth the time taken to read and dissect. liked the book so much that I will be keeping this in my library and keeping my eye out for books that this author may choose to write in the future.
