Abstract:
Have you been duped? You woke up one morning and found yourself thinking, This is it? This is all there is? You’re wondering what happened to the dreams you cherished during childhood. You had such high hopes and ideals for your adult life. You’re a good person – you’ve got originality and pizzazz – so what happened? You never seem to find what you’re looking for. Does Prince Charming always turn out to be Prince Jackass? Are you so kind-hearted that you find yourself routinely taken advantage of? Feeling a bit hung over, are you? This collection of poetry is dedicated to you: the lost soul

This book was really good and I'm glad I got it. It has 5 parts. Duped, Male Species, Uniqueness (the light chapter of the book), Humanity, and Hung Over. The author's poetry is thought provoking but she also comes across as edgy and blunt. (I like that she tells it like it is on each issue, whether you agree with it or not) Each poem makes you think and there's a message to each one too. If there's any women out there who go for bad boys, buy this book!! (for Crystal's Man Problem alone its worth it!) My favorite poems are Tara's Last Message (sad), The Player, Crystal's Man Problem, They Called themselves Soldiers. I highly recommend this book. There are some poems I wanna read over and over.

I liked the book overall. The author covers a number of subjects including everything from destructive relationships, poverty, rape, gender descrimination, school bullying, and alcoholism to major ego maniac-like poems (Hot Pepper Girl, No You Can't Have Him, Puppet Man). These poems have a self-absorbed air about them. That's fine, but the way the book is marketed, I expected the whole book to be ultra deep and thought-provoking. Don't get me wrong MOST of it is just that, but the section titled "Uniqueness" contains alot of light and airy poems (from the description of a hectic workday to a poem that blasts people with bad personal hygene). It's clear that the author definitely has some things to say though, and I'd still recommend this book because it is entertaining and I understood her messages. I never thought, "what's this about?" She has a forward style to her writing and often she throws in a surprise endings that throws you for a loop. Good book overall. Not so good book marketing... It's not a self help book - although she does give advice in her poetry if you look for it - but don't be misled by the description.
