Official Review: Paddle to Paddle by Lois Chapin

[Pennybutterfly8]

The poems are interesting to read, will have a go at it. Sample is just the beginning

When a piece of poetry tends toward telling a life's story, it becomes something beyond interesting! I have no doubts it is same with this book. Congrats on BOTD.

These poetry in the book has flow that captures the readers thoughts to continue reading more and curious to know more

I read a sampling of this, and was amazed at the depth of emotion felt just by reading a few pages. The author does an amazing job of pullung the reader into the story, leaving them feeling the weight of emotions. I am not sure I could read the entire book because of the content matter. I'm not sure those are emotions I want to be immersed in.

I do like the writers quote from William H. McRaven concerning finding someone to paddle with you. That is true for us all, not to go through it alone.

Poetry is not usually my go-to genre, but after reading the review, I find myself wanting to take a look at this book as it seems unique. Thanks for your wonderful review! Well done!

I’m not a huge poetry fan, but I like that the author makes such a deep emotional connection. I’ll check it out.

This is a really great review! I appreciate how you included the disconnect in the narrative later on in the poetry and the way some poems felt out of place. This is good for readers to know in advance. It is impressive though that the author was able to tell a whole story with so many difficult themes in a series of poems.

I am usually not a fan of poetry, but I read the sample on Amazon and have to say I am intrigued.
Great review as well.

It's a unique way of telling someone's story using poetry, this book has a unique way of the unfolding of events. Great work of poetry.

I love the fact that the book is different from norm and the aspect of a female life written in this book is awesome. I wish to read and learn from this book. Nice review.

The storyline seems captivating , although I am not a fan of poetry but this book has lots of lessons for every aspect of life's journey. I would love to read this book. Excellent review.

When words are not enough, pictures suffice. However, poems convey a depth that the ordinary mind cannot fathom.

Telling an entire life story in poetic verses is an expression of a deep heart.

Good job, Lois Chapin.
