This short book of poetry was rather good. I was first put off by the author's use of ellipses in every line; however, I started to ignore them as I kept reading. I enjoyed the poems that described the author's retelling of classic books. All the poems are clever, with a good use of rhyme and humor, and unexpected twists.


I received this book for free from the author/publisher from a Goodreads Giveaway. Thank you for the opportunity.

At first, I didn't like the poems. I was doubtful because one of the beginning poems has curse words, and it was too much shock value for just the beginning. Here are the titles of my favorite poems in reading order: "Procrastination", "Social Media", "The Crow", "The Enterprising Ant", and "Natalie's Lullaby".

The poems def got better as the book went on. Would recommend.
