Having enjoyed and shared Javan's books for many years I was upset to read the preceding review. However, both his words and the attacking tone of his comments indicate this person has serious problems. I think the review says more about the reviewer than it does about Javan's books. He was right about one thing, Javan's books are not literary poetry. They are short reflections on our relationships with ourselves, others, and the world we live in. They are not only beautiful and easy to understand, but as indicated by several hundred people who have signed the guestbook on Javan's website they are especially helpful when things are going bad.

This book is just wonderful! Anyone can read this poetry and relate to it. All of the poems capture the love gained and lost when you give your heart to someone. A great gift for that special someone or-- inspirational words that will encourage anyone to follow their heart.

until your copy has worn out and you have to buy another. And then you'll give that one to someone special. And then your next one you'll give to your best friend. Or your brother. Javan's books are precious.

Although there are indeed some corny poems in the book, a majority of the poems are very touching. If you really enjoy contemporary poetry and can read in between the lines of poems, you'll love this book. It can have very lasting impacts on your own personal ethical framework and the very way you live your entire life.

Javan is probably the greatest poet today. His poetry is simple and heart-warming. His words will help you understand about pain and what it is to be human. No poet has been able to tell us in many words what he can in just a few. Thanks Javan!

This is a touching book, don't get me wrong. The quality that I would expect from Javan is present. However, after having read "Something to Someone" I feel as if the rest of his books are somewhat lacking. I couldn't tell you exactly what it is that its missing, but it is. Still a wonderful read, and I would still buy it again. Just a forewarning if you weren't already a big fan.

this book and the writings in it have helped my tremendously find some sense of what I'm feeling right now.... it was like the author had been there before and knew how i was feeling....the author must have experienced many things in his life and it shows in this book... i highly recommnend reading it, doesnt take long and is well worth it...

I think this is a great poetry book. Each poem is short and is meaningful in its own way...

I've been reading Javan's books (4) for 20+ years and still find wisdom in every reading. Footprints in the Mind makes a wonderful gift for that new special someone in your life or just a thoughtful 'glad you're my friend' gift.

Javan's poetry touches your soul! A short read, the price is right. You will keep coming back to read and re-read.
