Review of Shine a Light

[Kenneth Ernest]

Reading poems in story form is enjoyable to me. This shows us that the author portrays from her point of view but i don't like authors explaining much about their work.

[Edna Ybanyez]

I've written a few poems during my younger years. I'm so excited to read the book soon and see if it ignites a desire in me to write one again.Thanks for the review.

The book is seemed to be very reflective. There are lots of relatable topics that readers can immersed themselves like the importance of working together and recognizing that everyone can be a part of a big solution. I like that the author uses simple words in her poems which make this for everyone. The other technical issues enumerated for me are just minors and can be rectified easily. Congrats Botd!

Poetry have always been a short and precise way to express deep emotions and offer a glimpse into the heart and emotions of the poet.

This short poetry collection as depicted by the reviewer seems to have fulfilled that role. It is just too bad that the author did not take cognizance of the minor details that could have made this work much more enjoyable.

It goes to show as authors, especially self published ones, we can't take anything for granted.

It sounds as if this could be a lovely book of poems for fans of poetry, and could make a great gift; however, the disorganization of the contents makes me think it hasn’t been given the careful edit it needs to be taken seriously. Thank you for your comments.

The topics of the poems sound highly relevant to today’s world. It’s a shame that the collection seems to be so disorganized. Perhaps the poet does have a form of organization in mind, but it’s not too obvious, just something that the reader must interpret like one does with individual poems. Thank you for the helpful review.

[Destiny Freedom]

Your review was really detailed, but I would have skip this one since I'm not a fan of poems.

[Harty Muli]

I like the range of emotions exhibited in this anthology of poems. Great review.

[Hue-Morningstar]

All was well with the review and the book, seemed an interesting read. However, am totally against gay. The author should have discouraged the behaviour. It is disgusting!

[Sharill Rasowo]

An anthology of poems spanning from the 1960s to the present day sounds wonderful. I look forward to reading about the author's life experiences through her poems. This book sounds interesting so congratulations on BOTD.

[Magdalena Richter]

Really unuasual way to tell your life story by writing a series of poems. Very original and unique. I feel like it could be difficult to follow and understand some parts of the book. Very good and honest review. I would have been frustrated beyond measure at not being able to easily follow a book.

[Frank Mutuma]

Am not really a fan of poetry but I loved the review. This one will be a pass for me

[darawashere]

I loved the poem on adolescence, it really spoke to me. I wasn’t able to relate with the others very well but when you explained the motivation behind it I was able to understand. Thank you

[Adeniyi Badmus]

Wow!!! This book is really something to be said about. All content in the book is really meaningful. The emotions, the anthyology thou i'm not a fan of poetry but i really like this review. About that gay part, the author should have discorage that.

[Francis Aderogbin]

I like the fact that the poems are relatable and touch basic issues we face in life. I wish the author effect the changes that was pointed out in the book.
