Official Review: Shitolian by O Persaud

[KennethM]

A thoroughly comprehensive view of what appears to be a very wide-ranging poetry book. I am sure there is something here to interest any poetry lover!

I love reading poems....Cleverly author choose variety of topic in poem that won't get readers bored..I enjoyed reading the sample book, the poem was in easy English that anyone can understand...I appreciate author boldly took a sensitive and thought provoking topic as slavery, AIDS, domestic violence, and blood diamonds and racial inequality.. In other hand topic like cold, soul of music... Review is enough measured by the way and its thoughtful..

The book seems to cover heavy aspects in such an amazing manner. When I first read the title and saw the book cover, this wasn't what I expected. The book seems good. This book would be a new addition to my bookshelf. Great work on the review.

This is a super interesting book since I find the storyline fascinating. Congratulations on the book of the day.

I like it when poetry is able to create such vivid imagery – it doesn't happen often. The insertion of humour is also a massive plus, and knowing how to balance it according to the various themes discussed doesn't seem easy. Thanks for the review.

I'm not into poetry so I'll pass on this book. However, it sounds quite unique and interesting.

[Ellie Gatillo]

It's a collection of poems that tackles pertinent issues we face. I would love to read more on this. I added it to my to-read list!

So do I need to mention the elephant in the room? That title is really cheeky. Anyway, even though poetry isn't usually appealing to me, I'd give this one a try. It deals with weighty issues in a humorous way. I particularly like the one about the fountain; it's priceless.

Great review. I love poems, especially romantic ones. I hope we have them here in this book.

This wide range of profound poems will surely make the reader think. The poet uses this medium to express his thoughts, views, and feelings on many topics, with the central theme of inequality. Thanks for the review!

This poetry book narrates a powerful message that will resonate with many audiences. The author highlights subpar living conditions, hence the title Shitolian. He also tackles inequality and racial prejudice.

[Sandra Akelo]

I am a fan of poetry so I think this book is interesting. I would love to read about the social struggles, of a poor person working to attain respect and wealth. I would also love to read the effects of racial division, politics and the view of the society during the journey.

[Benggirl721]

An inspiring poetry book that contains racial inequality is a must read.

I like analyzing the structure of your review, sarahmarlowe. I like how detailed your explanation of what the book is, and how you liked almost everything about the poetry anthology. Indeed, it is expected that the book contains profanity and some vulgar words given its title. Congratulations to the author for BOTD!
