Summary: Great collection of poetry, a must buy for SOAD/Poetry fans
Review: The collection is filled with many really great poems and metaphors. The collection is mostly about sex and government. Serj's have been chritisized for being "sexist" for using phrases such as "Baby, you suck a good d!ck." Truth be told, sex is a big part of life and the only people who would critisize this book are femminists and people who aren't getting laid. I however do not suggest this book for young children or people who are not mature enough to take sex seriously. The poems themselves can be hard to understand at time but if you do not get the book for the poetry, the origional works of art are amazing. I stronly suggest for an SOAD fan, lover of poetry, or artist. It really opens your mid and inspires.

Summary: Review of "Cool Gardens"
Review: This book is phenomenal! Serj Tankian is an excellent poet with a brilliant mind. Any true fan of System of a Down would love this work. The poems are funny, satirical, political, sexual, and just plain amazing. His ability to turn language into art is second to none. I highly recommend it!

Summary: Great book, a great buy for anyone who loves poetry.
Review: This is the only book I have ever read cover to cover in my life! The book is absolutely great and you must buy it. The book contained a lot of sexual poems, which the poem's were good I just wasn't expecting it. If you don't buy the book for it's poetry, then you must for the artwork. The art is all origional and breath taking, it's just an amazing book of poems. HIGHLY, HIGHLY, RECOMENDED!!!

Summary: Some of the poems are good... others well....
Review: While some of the poems inside seem ridiculous many of them have very deep meaning. So this poetry is worth checking out if you're into metaphors and trying to find meaning in art.

One poem inparticular is my all time favorite: Page 83 "House of Flies"

"The House of Flies made a new set of laws this week
The first, makes it illegal for red and black ants
To meet or assemble anywhere!
The second forces spiders to weave
Warning signs on their webs.
The third targeted at mosquitoes,
States that, "No mosquito shall be found with humans,
Even as pets".
The fourth proposed a larger ration of feces
For the enjoyment of the population of flies.
The new laws, approved by the Great Beatle,
Were not taken to well by the Army of Bees;
Who, feeling as they were completly ignored
By the House of Flies,
Decided to attack the headquaters and raise havoc.
It took a giant elephant,
Clumsily stomping on the city of insects,
To unite the insects against the common enemy
An put an end to the uncivil civil war."

There's a little taste of the poetry inside. I just think that is beautiful. The reason this review is only three stars is because for every great poem like that there are 4 more dumb ones not worth reading... but hey, art is art.
