3.0

I agree with others that have said the slam poetry (at least that which is in this book) is not very good in written form. I even tried reading the poems aloud, but I don't know the rhythm that is intended, so the effect is lost on me. In this case, I would say that this book needs a supplemental audio or video piece. The informational aspect of the book served its purpose, but I didn't like how after the first few sections of it, it gets divided between poetry. Structurally, this book does not make sense to me even with the table of contents.
