Basa Kain Tulog: Erotica

PUBLISHER: Andrews McMeel Publishing

PUBLICATION DATE: October 25, 2016

PAGES: 208
SYNOPSIS FROM GOODREADS:

Bitter Sweet Love is the much-anticipated second collection of internationally best-selling poet Michael Faudet, author of "Dirty Pretty Things," a finalist in the 2015 Goodreads Readers Choice Awards. Michael Faudet's whimsical and often erotic writing has captured the hearts and minds of literally thousands of readers from around the world. He paints vivid pictures with intricate words and explores the compelling themes of love, loss, relationships, and sex. All beautifully captured in poetry, prose, quotes, and little short stories.

MY RATING:
Similar to Faudet's first published of a compilation of poems, this 2nd book of the author didn't please me. There are few prose and poems that are a bit okay yet still far to be considered remarkable or exceptional.

SYNOPSIS FROM GOODREADS:

Dirty Pretty Things is the much-anticipated book by Michael Faudet. His whimsical and often erotic writing has already captured the hearts and minds of literally thousands of readers from around the world. He paints vivid pictures with intricate words and explores the compelling themes of love, loss, relationships, and sex. All beautifully captured in poetry, prose, quotes and little short stories.

MY RATING:
I was really curious about what's the hype about this poetry book. It's price around USD 12-13 when I saw it in our local bookstore so I thought that maybe it is really worth the price. But to my great dismay, the hype and the price doesn't equate to the quality of the poems in this collection. The author wants to convey passion of love and lovemaking, but really the poems are just mediocre. I was really curious on what's the hype about this poetry book.

I also purchased Faudet's 2nd book of Bitter Sweet Love. And despite the average rating of the said book here in Goodreads, I'm still giving it a chance to amuse me.
