To be very honest, which is my only reason for writing a review, I waited a while after reading this book and hearing other people's thought on it before actually formally commenting. First off, I am not a fan of this book nor its style of poetry. I just believe that if you are going to deliver such short pieces, they should be more original and powerful. The fact that this is under the genre of poetry is a little hard to believe, but I guess it is a more contemporary style of purely writing your thoughts down much like journaling. This, I believe, is not a book for those actually invested in poetry as an art form, rather it may be for those who are more interested in the self help genre. I would not give this book 1 star simply because the author had enough courage to share his words with the world and to be critiqued for it.Ultimately, to each is own, but personally I would not recommend this book to anyone searching for any type of intellectual or creative satisfaction in the form of poetry. Things that have been said over and over again, should not be stated so plainly as an original piece of work. However, as mentioned before, I believe the author may have found his niche with an audience who doesn't mind someone saying the exact thoughts that they have in their heads on a daily basis. It may keep some from feeling lonely, I admit.I hope this review helps and not harms. It is meant for readers that are unsure of whether their money and time is better spent elsewhere.
I bought this book hoping it would be poetry, but its really more like short inspirational quotes such as "you deserve better" which are really good reminders like other writers on instragram like rmdrake, mark anthony, beau tapin, etc. etc. etc. read them on instagram for free and save your money or better yet, write them yourself: you deserve better, baby.
Absolutely loved this book, very relatable if you've gone through tough relationships.
So beautifully written. I didn't even want to ruin the pages by folding down the corners to save my place. There wasn't a single page that didn't hit home at least one point in time. A must read, over and over again.
This book is phenomenal!! It is a positive poetry book that promotes strength and self love. I finished the book the day it arrived and it is something I will reread over and over. Can't wait for volume 2!!
I understand that poorly thought out words, or cliched lines copied from various tumblr websites is R.H Sin's writing style, but the only good thing about this book is its title, because it makes sense that Sin takes his words, down some whiskey, and use the shovel to bury the book deep beneath the ground.
From the minute I was introduced to his work I have been impressed with the depth of his writing. It has touched me and helped me find the inner courage to walk away from a relationship that needed to end. Really looking forward to the next and the next and the next from R.H. Sin
I love this book . Its shares true feelings that we go through from a day to day basis and it's fun to read because it's all quotes. I'm personally not a fan of reading books but this is perfect for me because I can relate to the quotes in the book and there is no long chapters which is a plus for me. I recommend this to someone who has been through ups and downs with relationships so I prove this book
