I used to enjoy poetry, but that was many years ago. I'm not an avid reader of non-fiction books so I don't think that this book will be a good fit for me. Thanks for the interesting review though. I'm glad you enjoyed the book.

I'm not a fan of poetry, and this doesn't really appeal to me. Thanks for your review!

It is nice to read something that is educative and I’m looking forward to reading this book to learn how to understand poetry; it is beautiful to read but hard to comprehend. A book like this is very helpful to readers who would like to enjoy poetry to the fullest.

I like poetry but it always has this twist to them that makes it seem complicated. This book is going to be a very great read to understand poets more. Nice review.

Finally a book that explains poetry without the academic pressure. I love reading poetry but i always get stuck or don't quite understand it, so this book will be of great help. And a big thank you to the reviewer for the great analysis.

I personally felt a connection with the review right from the beginning because poetry is my favourite genre of literature. I loved it when the reviewer said that reading the book help dissipate his doubts and ,in replacement, developed his interest and vocabulary. That's poetry for you! I have no doubts that the book is good and helpful. Thanks for the review.
