I loved this book. Each sentence contains so much information and just gets to the core of things. I will definitely reread in the future as I'm sure I didn't take it all in in the first go around. I love how he is able to summarize in depth observations in a very honest way. ]]>

review of The Essential Neruda: Selected Poems:
"I can write the saddest verses tonight
Write, for example, "The night is full of stars,
twinkling blue, in the distance."
The night wind spins in the sky and sings.

This book is more of a 3.5. It reminds me of the Catcher in the Rye in some ways and the main character definitely has a great heart. It's nice to see things from a different point of view as he does. He keeps things real and it's a good reminder that we are all really doing the best we can. ]]>
Not sure I would have stuck with this if I hadn't been on a cross country flight. There are some interesting elements to the story, but overall, it was very sad. At the same time, it's an easy read and good for just sort of zoning out. ]]>

There were a few chapters with some good insights but in general, nothing spectacular. It is however a very quick read which is nice. ]]>
