RykerBennett I have been hearing a lot about this book lately. School mates of mine saying it is very intense and deep and I need to check it, so I did. It is true that the people who have been praising this book don't have much in common with me when it comes to literary taste, but even so, https://trackeasy.fun/usps/ https://showbox.tools/ http://essaywriter.fun/ there are books that I don't get entertained by but still appreciate what they try to achieve, if that makes any sense. But this one, I was just very underwelmed by. It is not even poetry, there isn't thought in the way words were peered up together, it's not musical when you read them out loud. Just a bunch of random deep relatable quotes that are instagramable because of the aesthetic illustrations. I can't help but to feel like this is the new "Fault in our stars" by John Green that was very big back in the day, and so deep, but then many people started saying they didn't like it and it was dumb and not that special, etc. I was never one to be sensitive to poetry, but lately it has been growing on me and I really want to appreciate this but I guess I just can't relate to that, and other than being relatable, the book doesn't seem to have anything special. If you think I am ignorant and are passionate about talking this book, please share your thoughts with me. I want to know stuff like: What is the symbology of the tittle and how is it related to the content of the book. Is there any message besides the blatantly obvious one in each "poem", and I don't mean like "yeah, this is loneliness", etc, I mean like more symbols that make it open for interpretation and what do you make out of them sort of thing and how does the set work as a whole, why were they compiled.
