Starlight Life by N.C Brightman is a collection of poetry in which the author writes about nature, individuality, dreams, the beauty of life, optimism, and spirituality. Each poem carries an important life lesson. The author seeks to inspire and encourage the reader and emphasizes the beauty of living in the present moment. In her verses, the author draws attention to the seemingly small things surrounding us that are extremely important. She manages to create an inspiring poem in almost every segment of nature. The most common motifs that appear in this collection are stars, ocean, music, rain, song, rainbows, and dreams. Through these motives, the author successfully creates uplifting verses that encourage the reader to live life to the fullest, appreciate it, and be aware of its finality.

This relatively short collection of poems is a real little gem. I enjoyed reading every poem in it. I like how the author finds beauty in almost everything that surrounds her. In every part of nature, she finds a message she can relate to the purpose and beauty of living. "Lost the Child" is one of my favorite poems in this book. In it, the author emphasizes that most people forget the beauty of carefreeness they had as children. Children always find a way to have fun everywhere, while adults find it much harder. "Little Things" is another beautiful poem in which the author stresses that those seemingly small things are the most beautiful and significant. In addition, since I have a physical copy of this book, I would like to highlight the outstanding quality of the paper. Also, the whole book is illustrated with stunning sketches that give a special touch to the entire collection. Another big plus is that I didn't encounter any errors, and the book seems to be exceptionally well edited.

As for the negative aspects, I must admit that there are none. I liked everything in the book, and I can't single out a single negative component. The author managed to cheer me up and motivate me while I was reading her book.

Given all the above, I have no reason to give the book a rating lower than perfect. Therefore, I rate this collection of poems 4 out of 4 stars. I thank the author for this work, and I hope she will continue to write.

I would recommend this book primarily to all poetry lovers. I would also recommend it to anyone who feels down and low. This book would likewise be an ideal gift for all book lovers.

I wish I had this book as a kid growing up. It's an awesome science book that explains a lot of the mysteries of our universe in a fun, easy to understand manner. The illustrations are often hilarious and full of life, you could spend hours just taking in all of the tiny details that Britt Spencer put in. With all of the politicization of science in the US, I'm glad that Ian Flintcroft tries to distance himself from it in the writing. There is nothing here that is in your face atheistic or religious, so I think it appeals to anybody who has any inkling of curiosity into how our universe works.

I am not a fan of poems but the fact that the author tries to inspire and encourage in her poems, I might read this book.

I'm not a fan of poems, but I love the storyline of this book. Countless people tend to dwell on their problems and forget the time they won't get again, which is passing.
