REVIEW - What Kind of Woman

OVERVIEW

First off, a very dear friend sent me this book for my birthday with a journal. I have been writing and reading both books since early June. Today, was the last poem in this book. It has been a great practice to start my day with self-care. 

It has made me realize that I am NOT a poetry book reader, but rather a good poem lover. 

OVERALL REVIEW: 3.0 stars

Writing: 3.0 stars

This poetry book was all over the place for me. It was inconsistent to me. There were poems that I truly felt resonated with me and others that I didn't "get". There wasn't a poem that I loved enough to share and that is significant to me. 

Character Arc: 2.5 stars

There was no arc. It was all over the place. 

But in all fairness, this was my first book of poetry. But, I have realized that I would rather have a book of "favorite" poems from various poets. Maybe, an anthology. Yes, I am that fickle. 

Memorable: 2.5 stars

It wasn't a memorable book of poetry to me. 

Entertaining: 3.0 stars

At times, I did totally chuckle as I completely understood what the poet and poem were saying to me!

Book cover: 3.5 stars

Very pretty. 

Book title: 4.0 stars 

Totally appropriate. 

Gut feeling: 3.0 stars

I had no clue as to how I would feel about a book of poetry.
