Bitter Sweet Love - Michael Faudet


RESEÑA
REVIEW
Esta colección de poemas es variada pero, lamentablemente, no es mi estilo. Si bien hay contiene algunos poemas hermosos, la mayoría no me generó ninguna sensación o pensamiento e incluso muchos resultaban desagradables de leer (en especial por los personajes y/o situaciones demasiado sexualizadas en un tipo de texto que no los ameritaba).
Otra cosa que no me gustó fue que hay dos "figuritas repetidas". A lo que me refiero con esto es que dos secciones de dos poemas aparecen varias páginas más adelante como si se tratara de otros poemas cortos cuando ya habían aparecido como parte de otros.
Si es todo esto es algo que no te molesta e incluso te gusta leer, te invito a que lo leas.

This collection of poems is varied but, unfortunately, it wasn't my cup of tea. Although there are some beautiful poems, most of them left me no lingering feeling or thought and some were not pleasing to read (especially those that were overly sexualized in a text where it was uncalled for.)
Another thing that I didn't like was the fact that there were two "repeats", meaning sections of two whole poems were listed as a different one several pages later.
If none of that bothers you and it's your kind of thing, go ahead and read it
