Summary: a real poet
Review: I was disheartened to see some people diss Jewel's poetry. When I went to buy the book, I too thought that it was only published because of her name and that it couldn't be that good, blah, blah, blah. But I was wrong! When I actually sat down and read the poems, it became clear to me very quickly that this is real poetry, not simple little rhymes that anyone can write, or abstract symbolism that no one can understand. Instead, this was intuitive, soulful, and meaningful poetry that spoke to me and impressed me with its colorful use of language, imagery, and metaphor. My favorite poem in this collection is "God Exists Quietly." Jewel's poetry is graceful, eloquent, insightful, confessional, spiritual, and above all, genuinely poetic.

Review: Sorry Jewel fans, but this book is bad. Worse than bad. A serious waste of the trees that were used to make the paper that went into this book. If you think this book is any good you need to consider the fact that you probably dropped out of community college because it was too hard, and if your father hadn't paid for your braces you wouldn't even have that waitressing job at TGIFriday's. I shutter to think of how many copies this book sold, because that number reflects only a fraction of the number of complete morons walking around today in the U.S. This book will some day be in exhibit right next to the New Kids On The Block Christmas Album in the museum of the downfall of the United States. And Jewel, if you're reading this, please do us all a favor and go back to living in that van in Alaska. The future depends on you.
