  • 🖤🖤🖤 ❔ Welches Buch konnte euch zuletzt nicht überzeugen? Gestern habe ich dieses Buch beendet. Ich mag englische Poesie und daher hatte ich mich sehr gefreut. Die Lebensgeschichte, die Amanda hier verarbeitet wurde auch sehr chronologisch erzählt in den ersten 2/3 des Buches. Danach wurde es etwas wirr. Außerdem waren es einfach oft nur Sätze, die mit der Enter Taste auf die Seite verteilt wurden. Das hatte stellenweise nichts mit Poesie zu tun. Mir hat es also nicht gefallen und ich hätte fast abgebrochen. Empfehlen kann ich es leider nicht. Da es aber um die Traumabewältigung einer jungen Frau geht, möchte ich das ganze auch nicht bewerten, denn ich hoffe das dieses Buch ihr dabei geholfen hat, auch wenn sie mich damit nicht abholen konnte.

    And once again, a book I hoped to like, but disappointed me a lot. The themes in those poems weren't my cup of tea, nothing I could relate to. I mean, the author is really strong for making it through all of that and then putting it into words and sharing it with the world. I really do appreciate that. Doesn't erase the fact that I wasn't moved by her writing. In the beginning, the poems seemed to be chronologically and somehow connected to each other, like a story. And then towards the end, they seemed all over the place... I'm gonna give this book two stars, for the authors strenght, and for the use of nautical references, which was a nice touch; and finally somebody used another symbol besides the stars or the moon. Rating poetry is even harder than books; because they are so much more personal than a story.
