I got an ARC of this book. This is my honest review. Let me go on record as saying that I am not an expert in literature. That being said, this book is weird and I don't like it. It is a series of shorts where the lamp posts are the characters. I kept trying to imagine that the stories were funny or insightful, but I couldn't get past the utter absurdity that is this book. Maybe I'm the sort of person that only understands the concrete and realistic rather than the whims of inanimate objects, but I read books about wizards and dragons that are more plausible than this. So, I don't like it. I find it dumb. But if this is your sort of thing, it might be an excellent read. Got to go. My coffee maker is calling me.

This is a nice, dreamy, book, illustrated with lamp post photos. I know that seems a little odd, but the book has an original approach and I think it is very well done. It is subtle but not superficial. The narrative is well written. I can't describe the book well. Sorry about that. It's a Goodreads giveaway for me and I want to provide an accurate review but all that comes to my mind is that I am very glad to have received it and read it and hope you will enjoy it also.

Very interesting a series of perspectives from lamp post and one man's relationship to them. It was a bit unusual reading for me, but I am surprised how much I liked this book. It's surreal, but not so much that one gets lost in confusion or tired from the weight of the ideal. It is a great book. I am so very glad I won this from Good Reads. LOVED IT!

I won this book on Goodreads. Quirky book about what lamp post would say and feel if they were able to do so..Would of been better as a photo book about different styles of lamp post instead of trying to make a story type book out of it.

I received a copy of this book from a Goodreads contest. This is a cute little book with stories and pictures from the perspective of lamp posts.

Enjoyed the photographs and illustrations. Loved the imagination put into the short stories that went with each lamp post.

I received this book from Goodreads First Reads.

Goodreads Giveaway Book - What a cute idea! It never would have occurred to me that lamp posts can have their own personalities and quirks. I may never be able to just walk by a lamp post again without wondering about his story, her name or age. On future trips I may be taking lots of pictures of lamp posts to document other lighting families and their family trees.
