The Annotated Murder of One

I received a copy for a fair and honest review. I love music and poetry. This book gave me a chance to combine both loves. I love how the book was separated into each section and explained where the inspiration came from. It was worth the read. The author touches on a lot of subject in this debut collection.

Very easy to get through, a great collection of poems to read when you're just looking to read something easy, breezy :) music to my ears 😜🙌🏻

I chose to read this collection of poems because 1. I really liked the title (sounds a bit like a crime story's title which I love) and 2. I'm a music person through and through. The idea to mix lyrics with actual poems was very intriguing to me.
This book was exactly what I expected. It didn't seem to be so much of high literature, but it doesn't mean it lacked depth. Things, happenings and feelings Pearce touched were very familiar and common, these poems were about experiences all of us have or could have. It's easy to relate and feel connected, it was easy to read, and yet it wasn't so banal and blunt that would make the reader think it's for dummies. It raised thoughts, at times it was serious, than it was funny, and then there were those poems that could be actual lyrics. Those were my personal favorites. I could almost hear the music in my head.
All in all, this was a fun (and rather quick) ride. I'd say I would read other poems or books by the author. I recommend it to anyone who wants a swift and pithy literary experience.

You are the moon, my love

Eindringliche Worte, eindringliche Zeichnungen. Klare, schöne Sprache schafft großes Kopfkino und setzt Gefühle frei. Machtvolle Poesie zum immerwiederlesen.

So I am here trying to write a very brief review about the book. And I apologize this one will not be my two sections review. Cz I kind of forgot about the story plot or the characters. I feel bad about it, it's my fault I know cz I've been minding my own works than my reading challenge.

Well, enough for the rambling. Actually I read it in one sitting, hmm not really one sitting but within 24 hours, it made my eyes watery as well. Just the characters though. And over all, I was head over heels for the book. I wish I could reread this one sometime soon.
