Whoever edited this book needs proofreading lessons. Huge typing errors on the back cover as well.

This is a wonderful book of poetry. The author puts his heart and soul on every page. It’s really a journey through different periods of time in his life. From love to heartache and everything in between; anything and everything that happens to us throughout our lives. I really enjoyed reading this book and I felt like I got to know the author through these poems.

If you are a lover of poetry or even if you’re not…this is a great book to check out. You won’t be disappointed. I like it so much because you can tell that it is written from his heart…lots of emotion in these poems.

This book gets 5***** from this reviewer all the way around, and it is one that I am happy to have in my collection. I will be reading this one over and over.
