Summary: poems
Review: This book, is a VERY good one. I hope many people will buy it because not only is Jewel a good singer, but a good writer. Her poetry is EXTREMELY good, just like her music. My favorite poem was "Mercy". Gotta read the book! This book is a MUST reader. Where do you think I got my SN from?!

Summary: Foolish games or poems in this case
Review: I think that this generation has sunk to an all new low- they need Jewel's "inspiration" to read real poetry. I'm sorry to let you all in on something, but she does not wirte poetry. I'm also sorry for all of you who are first being exposed to poetry in this manner. You will find that real poetry is much deeper, clearer, profound, and structured that Jewel's fragments. For the reviewer who asked for poets, try some of the standards. If you don't like Shakespeare who is wonderful, try some contemporary stuff like Robert Pinksy.

Summary: The decline of Western Civilization continues apace
Review: No. Please God, no. Will anyone stop the banal march of celebrities from deafening us all? No. No one has the guts. This is really, really bad. At best, it's full of sleazy impressionism. But mostly, it has all the depth of a birdbath. And yes, she actually writes verse about her breasts.

Summary: Outsteps Jewel's Literary Limits
Review: Although Jewel's poetry collection: " A Night Without Armor," seems to offer the reader an opportunity to gaze at select snapshots of Jewel's innermost thoughts, she appears to attempt profoundness using abstract, and often non-poetic images. Hers is a blunt story. Rather than allowing the reader to create images of his/her own, Jewel forces us to accept and struggle to understand the interrelationships of her imagery. This is not to say the the book did not contain any worthwhile script. Jewel has some really great pieces also which I'm sure represent the creative lyracist she has demonstrated to be within the music she writes. Maybe the book needs to undergo a few more readings; you know, like when you first dislike a song but the more your hear it, it kind of grows on you.

Summary: It is a joke right?
Review: Someone tell me that she wrote this book as a joke, please!!! I study poetry for a living and I'm embarassed to have this kind of nonsense labled as "poetry." Not only does it not have poetic merit but the meanings of the poems are absolutly absurd. She explores things about as deep as her shallow brain will let her, which I discovered wan't far (about as far as her breasts). The book needs a lot of work and rewriting before it can be called a "book of poetry."

Summary: You gotta admit...the picture on the cover's nice!
Review: This book just seems to be a collection of brain fragments rather than poetry. I have to admit, reading these reviews has given me more reading pleasure than her book! Some of you guys are BRUTAL! Funny, but brutal!!To her credit I must admit, if somebody offered me a *@%&load of money to publish a book, I would write it. Now I probably couldn't write to save my life, but as long as the cheques kept coming...WHO CARES!! Mind you, I would never claim to be a "poet." I give the book three stars because I believe the true value of this book goes beyond what's between the covers. There is the possibility that this book may spark an interest in poetry in someone who ordinarily would't be exposed to it. I personally fall into this category. I bought this book, and perhaps it's not good poetry, but it made me want to read more. I'm now interested in poetry, and enjoy reading it. If this book gets somebody interested in reading poetry(or anything for that matter) as it did me, then I think it's a good thing. I would now like to read some good 'real' poetry(I have read very little). If anybody has any suggestions I would appreciate hearing from you! As for Jewel, keep doing whatever it takes to put food on the table! :)

Summary: jewel is awesome! all you who don't like her suck
Review: Jewel is beautiful in her own unique ways. She is herself and expresses many feelings that lots of people feel but don't know how to express. She is a talented performer and i have bought every one of her albums. She is very deep and in touch with her inner self and spiritual side, i admirer her. i haven't read her book yet, but i plan on buying it and LOVIN' it, no matter what the "reviews" are. You have to be the right kinda person to appreciate her music and poems. She is a role model to me and her all of her songs deeply move me.
