[Jordan · Rating 5 out of 5]

It took some time for me to write a review for this book. I read it 3 times, not because it's complex or anything but because it's an easy read and that's the highlight of this book. Arthur's writing grows on you.

He mentioned the following in one of his poems-
I write this shit whatever it is and hope that someone will read it and understand. I’m not trying to be deep

He has a unique style. His peculiar style of writing makes this book an enjoyable read. I enjoyed reading it again and again. Poems are fun, witty and at the same time serious.

Arthur is an amazing storyteller. His ability to tell stories in a few lines is something that needs to be highlighted. He writes with guts and as I reached the last page, I felt happy realizing that poetry is not dead.
I recommend this book to every poetry lovers. Its a must read.
I'm waiting for his next book. (:
