Amazon.com Review

An Amazon Best Book of October 2017: Kaur deftly sidesteps and then punts the stereotypical sophomore slump of bestselling authors, offering a subtle yet powerful volume of poetry to her readers who have clamored for more since the debut of Milk & Honey. Split into five movements—wilting, falling, rooting, rising, blooming—Kaur’s poems glide up from the depths of heartbreak and hurt to embrace the strength and joy that can flower on the other side of hardship. Kaur workshops many of her poems through live readings, and the dedication to her craft vibrates through every phrase. Those who pressed Milk & Honey into the hands of their friends will exult in The Sun and Her Flowers, and Kaur’s expanded wisdom and scope should reel in new readers who will find much that resonates. —Adrian Liang, The Amazon Book Review

... was going to be able to pierce my soul like she did with Milk & Honey but she did ...

December 1, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I wasn’t sure if Kaur was going to be able to pierce my soul like she did with Milk & Honey but she did it with ease. A journey of self love and raw observations about the world around us.

The only thing I did notice was if you are an advid reader like myself, you probably picked up a lot of similarity from other poets and works. I think we all strive for originality but sometimes it falls short.

I will saw that Rupi Kaur is not for everyone, I know people who worships the ground she walks on and other who loathe her for her writing style.

But that’s the thing about poetry, it doesn’t need to be perfect to be power.

Seriously Amazon?

I don’t know what all goes into product quality control, but I’m also not in charge of a multi-billion dollar corporation. This is ridiculous.

I saw this book at Barnes & Noble one afternoon and decided I wanted to buy it, but knew I could probably find a deal on Amazon, so ordered it here instead. What I received is very clearly some kind of counterfeit copy, as if someone poorly scanned the entire book and printed it cheaply somewhere else.

Firstly, I remember holding the book in Barnes & Noble and it very clearly had a textured cover. This one is smooth. The book in the store was around 4x6 inches. This was at least 5x7, maybe bigger. Perhaps the most damning evidence was the fact that it was so poorly printed. If you know anything about digital imaging, it looks as if the cover was scanned in at like 25 ppi, as opposed to the industry standard of 240-300. The pages were offset as well. The author’s name does not appear at the top, instead the poems are aligned with the top of the page which is not only incorrect, but displeasing to the eye.

TL;DR - just buy a physical copy at a bookstore so you can be sure you’re getting the real thing, because what I got was clearly a counterfeit in every way.

Counterfeit/Fake copy!

June 19, 2018

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I have bought this book before and I loved it. The poems are amazing and the content deserves 5 stars. I reordered this book after losing my first copy and the new one I received from Amazon was clearly a fake.

First off, the cover felt different. It definitely wasn't the rough, textured cover it was supposed to be.

Secondly, the print on the pages was ALL off. It was sized incorrectly, as if somebody had tried to scan it and print it themselves. Also, the lettering was oddly gray and faded instead of black.

I love Amazon, but this book is wildly different than how it's supposed to be. Anybody who even glanced at it would have been able to tell. They need to do some sort of quality control.

I got a refund and I'm taking my money to Barnes & Noble, even if it is more expensive. This copy was horrible and wasn't worth the convenience for something so messed up.

I absolutely loved Rapi Kaur's 'Milk and Honey' so I was extremely excited to preorder this book. The books content is different than the first (duh). I don't want to spoil it, but expectations should be set when you order it that it isn't about the same content as the last book. I enjoyed that it was longer, more time to enjoy the wonderful writing❤️

Beautiful, riveting, wonderful...

October 3, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I waited all day for this book to arrive, and the moment it did, I sat down, braced myself for the beautiful art I expect from this author, read for hours until I was done, and was absolutely blown away. Rupi Kaur's poetry will shake you and break you, force you to think, to look in the mirror and reflect, then build you back up again, stronger, better, and wiser. Never before have I read words put together so skillfully and emotionally. I fell in love with Milk and Honey, and with the way this woman uses words. Every single thing she said resonated with me on a spiritual level, wether or not I had experienced those emotions myself. I did not think she could equal Milk and Honey, but The Sun and Her Flowers has blown me away, and more than lived up to my expectations. Man or woman, young or old, anything in between, Rupi Kaur's poetry will teach you lessons you didn't know you needed, give you feelings you didn't know existed, evoke thoughts you never would've thought before, and resonate with you in some way, shape, or form. I highly recommended Milk and Honey, along with The Sun and Her Flowers for any poetry lover, and generally any human being. I am now positive that Rupi Kaur is my favorite poet, and I await the next book excitedly.

Rupi is an inspiration and a poetry queen! The Sun and Her Flowers is far different from Milk and Honey. She includes longer pieces,which is refreshing. She includes a lot about self-love and the abuse she has faced in the past. I had a hard time putting it down! It's a must read for those on the road to self healing.

Just like Milk and Honey, The Sun and Her Flowers is a stunning work of art and poetry. It is difficult at times, honest, and beautiful.

Counterfeit

I am so upset that this is not the real book—this is a photo copy of the book. It’s blurry. The pages are photo copied, stiff and nothing like they should be.
