What drew me to this little book was the illustrations , I fell in love with them as soon as I saw the first pages , I found them adorable and well done . I also loved the fact that the piece of red string went through the whole book from start to the end , following this beautiful described story poem book . It's about friends and loved ones and positive encouragement , kind words
It's a short book but with big words of inspiration and love , I felt happy on reading this to my Gran son who is 3 years old and he actually sat and listened as I read it to him , I think he loved the pictures as much as I did . Great little book , a wonderful keepsake and a lovely reminder of how time fly's and make the most of the little ones while they are little . I may have to buy a hard back copy one day just such a delightful book , kids will love it and parents too

My experience in the reading of this book was very mind opening and to think what she had gone through in her life was shocking , As you don't read about some horrors of mental illnesses it hits you hard , and I can also relate to some of the things she writes about , being I to , had Suicidal thoughts once in my life , and a lot of bad stuff happened to me to , but not because of mental illness ... But I can still relate .. Its Memoirs I like to read and experience their life through their eyes , because it lets you see into the world of others and the struggles they come across on their path to maybe rediscovery in some way or another . I loved her openness to tell us about her experiences even the ones that probably took a lot for her to talk about . I will Reread this Memoir again someday , and I would recommend it to any one as well . .. This book was not to short ,and not to overwhelmingly long either in the mental illness area ,it was a fresh clip of some one new , that in places may of seemed funny , but deep down , didn't want to laugh because of the mental illness she was going through it showed us in a window of her life the good the bad and the ugly .... something no one really wants to share at full point anyway , I liked how she went back and forth many years and explained parts of her life that made a change in her in some way even if the change was bad , or ugly ,. and even the good changes , after all she is only human , with feelings that may over flow , emotions you just need to release into the environment and beyond ,she had help from friends and family and eventually let them all in ,Love was there the whole time , she just only noticed some parts of her life and locked out other parts too. I am now A fan of hers and hopefully will read more of her work . Definitely a great read , kept me hooked all the way through . Writing poetry or stories or even doing art is one way addicts and others who have suffered share their pain and turmoil that not just drug addiction brings into their lives and the people it hurts along the way . Sadness and desperation are universal themes in these poems, which often forge a strong emotional connection between the writer and the reader.
Especially if you have had similar frustrations . I loved the poems even though they made me feel sad at times .. but also happy for the thought of my life could have been worse than it is now .. if some one reads these poems .. and feels something then it just shows how much of a connection we all have just by reading this poetry . So this book even though a short read , was an emotional ride , and in places one that I could relate to . nearly crying in places , some of these really broke my heart . but I also felt blessed for where my life is now and where I could of ended up many years ago ., But I feel a connection to some of the poems written in this book , not because of the drugs and the hardships he had gone through to get where he had today , but because of the pain and turmoil he had became and the trail of pain he left in his travels , and looking at yourself in the mirror and not seeing who you really want to see . So I had a connection to him as a writer , and to the feelings that we all hide now and then through our lives . These Poems , were deffinately wrote from his heart and soul , born out of sadness addiction and hardship , these poems have of course that universal theme , that alot of us suffer with some sort of mental illness or issues in our life . we cant just stand there and cry about it , we need to ask for help , otherwise we will all end up down this dark and lonely road . So some of my favorites from this book i loved .. and will re read again and again. Unwilling time traveler (page 20) Add, Easy as I through Z (page 23) I found you (page 35) Beyond Reality (page 38) Running (page) 47 Never again (page) 64 I hope you read this book .. one day . #jmaxwell #soberthoughtsfromthecrazyhouse #poems #emotional #reading #poetry #universal #writing #read #drugsandalcohol #reviews #reviewer #readingtime #reviewing #books #shortreads #bookstagram |
