I wanted this one *so* badly when it was available through Early Reviewers. Now I don’t feel so bad about not getting it, LOL, although I do still want to read it.

I’m guilty of skipping poems too (unless they come at the very beginning and then I love reading them). That’s why I got through Possession in record time! I love Shakespeare’s sonnets though, so I might read those.

I like the Sonnets so I might give this a go. I don’t read poems in books whilst I’m reading them though, although I will sometimes go back after I’ve finished the book to try and figure out the signficance.

I always skip songs/poems/Bible Verses, too! I don’t think I’ll read this.

I’m such a sucker for covers that I would’ve picked this book up just by that alone. Thanks for a great review….I just might have to read this!

I think you are right on here…you either are a poem/sonnet person, or you aren’t. I am not. I’m not sure what that means in the scheme of things…maybe I wasn’t properly schooled in the art of reading and appreciating them. Either way, I think I would opt out of this one!

I love the poems and songs authors include in their books! It’s one of the things I look for lol. However, I’ve never been that crazy about Shakespeare’s work as it takes such an effort to read (the film adaptations are usually pretty good though- go figure?!)
