2.5
This book wasn't bad but it didn't resonate very strongly with me. I think it could have more value to someone else, it just doesn't hit home for me.
I do agree the poems were choppy and not too lyrical, but poetry is subjective. Maybe someone else could find the songs in these words. Based on the average rating, plenty of people must have.
Don't be discouraged by the negative reviews. Give the book a chance to resonate with you. It takes about 45 minutes to read so it's not much time to spare if you're curious about it.
