5.0 out of 5 stars Poetry is created in the kitchen, June 13, 2008

Karman R. Sommer "SFE life pursurer" (PEarland TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Kitchen (Paperback)

I just finished this book and it was wonderful. I read it in about 3 days. I loved the poetry in the prose of this book. Not so much descrtiptions of the places but the descriptions of the heart and the emotions of these mainly two chartacters were feeling. It was refreshing that there was no sexually discussions but just honest and gut-wrenching emotions shared by these two characters. However it was done in bits and pieces. Short paragraphs much llike we live our own lives and deal with these emotions ourselves. The ending was lovely but open which again was refreshing. I just loved it.
