Aloha,

I have only read a few pages. Too me, poems have a way of speaking. These poems make you feel like your inside the mind of the main chracter. It also has rhetrocial questions. The combination of this are deep poems. If you love poems, read this. If you do not like poems, still read it for these poems are different.?

I like the idea of the addition of haiku...one of my favorite forms of poetry. Thanks for the insightful review.

Thank you for the review. I love poetry and to have a young writer publishing work is amazing! It is too bad that the rhythm of the book was broken for that one section and took away the flow for you.

I am a poetry fan for sure. My favorite are those that really reveal the life on an author. Your description of the book and the poems within definitely have persuaded me to give this one a try and see the way the author poetically describes her life. Great review, and congratulations to the author for the 3/4 rating.

I usually don't go for poetry other than Edgar Allan Poe, but I'm going to give this a try! Nice review!

It's really nice to see a different type of book chosen for BOTD! I don't read much poetry, but I am looking forward to reading the poetry in this book since it seems to be written on such an emotional level. Sharing personal details and feelings with the reader is a very courageous act, especially since the poet is still pretty young. Thank you for your review, and congrats to Sabaine!

Great review. I had downloaded the book and as I saw the summary, I decided to read it during weekends. It seemed well written, though a bit on the heavy side with lots of sadness in it. I am going to read it this weekend. I hope it is really as good as the review said it is.

Exceptional review. At first I was hesitating to read a book of poetry, but your review made it seem more that it was a story guided by the means of poetry which is unique in its own right. I'm excited to give this one a read. I am in the mood to have my heart strings pulled a little. Thanks for the review!
