I'm not a fan of poetry in general, but this writer writes beautiful poems. They are interesting and easy to understand.

I'm not a fan of poetry but this review made me curious about the poems featured in this book. That excerpt in the review held a whole lot of meaning.

Not only I don't like poetry as a whole, but also and more importantly, with my current level of English, I hardly am able to fully understand and appreciate the thoughts and hidden meanings encoded in rhymes and rhythms. Unfortunately, I will have to pass this book, but still congratulations on BOTD!

I enjoyed reading the review and despite not being a big fan of poetry, the book seems captivating. Especially when the review mentioned puzzles of poems... I would like to find out more. Thank you for the review.

I'm not a huge fan of the subtle art of poetry, so I'll be passing on this book. However, the idea of reaching to the poem of "The Apple Orchard" and seeing the puzzle whole sounds very tempting. Moreover, O Persuad is an interesting pen name!

Today's BOTD takes readers on a poetic journey through love and relationships, while encouraging self-reflection. Those who enjoy poetry will be swept away by the descriptive language and raw emotion in this collection of poems that read like a story. It sounds like there's something here for most everyone, as we can all relate to some form of love and the ever-changing experience it delivers. Thank you for your wonderful review! I've downloaded my book, and I'm looking forward to reading it!! :-)

I think it is difficult to write a review for a poetry book. I enjoyed the poems, they are connected and tell a story of love in a modern way. I would change the cover, though.

I have not had so many chances to catch up on poetry. Hence, I do not know what to expect. Though, I have to agree love changes but not the person. Great review.

Imagine a book that takes you through the figure of speech in English language. Must be an interesting piece. Thanks for this review.

This is an interesting poetry book highlighting a journey through the trials and tribulations of relationships expressed in poetry. The book is temporarily free on Amazon Kindle and has an inciteful OnlineBookClub review. Congrats on the BOTD selection.
