This was not what I expected, and not quite my cup of tea, but nonetheless I enjoyed it. Cynthology is obviously a very personal look at the author's life but nonetheless the themes are relatable and the rhymes are often clever and funny. I particularly liked "I Don't Want To". Although the writing itself is good I found the structure of many of the poems to be a little weird. The way the lines and stanzas are broken up ruined the flow of some of the poems for me, especially because they all start with capital letters in places where they really don't need to. Also there are some grammatical errors which could have been easily fixed. Overall a sweet and worthwhile read though. Received as a good reads first reader edition.
