I'm glad you're interested in "Love and Resistance" by Marie J. Mond! This collection of poetry offers a thoughtful and moving exploration of various human emotions and experiences, including love, friendship, and personal growth. The poems are concise and straightforward, making them accessible to readers who may be new to poetry or looking for a quick and impactful read.

The author's writing style is unique, with some unconventional choices in the presentation of the poem titles. However, I encourage you to keep an open mind and pay attention to the messages conveyed in the poems themselves. The book delves into themes of love, relationships, and personal challenges, making it a compelling and insightful read.

As a reader, I found the book to be well-written and thought-provoking. I hope you find it enjoyable and meaningful as well. Thank you for your interest in this book, and I wish you a great reading experience!

Azubike Richard's review of the Love and Resistance by Marie J. Mond is very intriguing one. It helps to have a good grasp on the theme of the book. The review explains about the book from all dimensions. The first paragraph provides a fair introduction and the main theme of the book.The reviewer has not gone through the book in superficial manner , he has got a deeper understanding of the book . This can be found by reading the content of the review where he states that the book provides valuable lessons for life. One of the greatest lessons is the power of love which can heal anything.

The reviewer clearly highlights the strong areas of the book which include strarightforwardness, preciseness and to the point content. On the other hand, he also mentioned about the drawback which is the use of italics in titling the poems that might cause problems for some readers.

Finally, the reviewers confidently mentions about the exceptional editing of the book and gave it a 5 star rating. It was a very good review to have a better understanding of the theme of the book before going to read it.

I do not read a lot of poetry. However, your review has made me think I should give it a try. The poem you mentioned "Love Child", sounds like it would be my favorite as well, because I am a mother.
This was a well written review!

Some people are really into poetries. I, unfortunately, am not one of them. I struggle to read through them. However, those who can read them can read this excellent book. Congratulations on BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

Nice review! This definitely sounds like a poetry book I could get into. Considering the drawback stated, I hope the formatting as a whole is decent. Also, if there’s any day to contemplate the vast range of human emotions (as this book does), it would be today.

Happy Easter, everyone! & Congrats to the author on BOTD!
