I love poetry and this author does it so well. The first poem about the golden window was beautiful. I shed a small tear at that one. The rest of the poems are done just as well and the formatting does lend itself to a great read. Thank you for this wonderful review.

The titles of the poems show that the author is deeply concerned with the important aspects of life, and the poetical expression is quite amazing.

Based on the review I am not sure if this is something that I would enjoy reading. I do like poetry about love and nature. I don't like to read about aging, death, or sorrow. I think that I will pass on reading this book.

The book is a nice one,using the peom to depict the life of three renowned men and their successes. The figures of Speech and the Poet' usage of Diction has alot to say about the book.
In summary its a must read and a future best seller.

The Golden Window seems to be an interesting collection of poems. I am just skeptical of the fact that the writer of the preview was not able to spot anything that he disliked about the entire collection.

The review is beautifully written and it makes you want to read the poems. I absolutely love that the author has brought fragments of his life into the poem giving us an insight into his personal journey. It is usually an absolute delight to read about one's life from his own perspective and that is exactly what the review conveys and manages to pique our interest.

The author's personal experiences sound interesting. However, I'm not into poetry and I would have preferred that it was written as short stories.

Thank you for sharing your review with us. Not personally being a fan of poetry, I can appreciate the solice the author managed to find, in a very difficult time of his life, in writing these poems. I like that he used different formatting styles to give the poems that little extra detail.

Wow, sounds like the perfect book for me, I'm a big fan of poetry and this is nothing short of what I've always wanted to read. The author telling his personal stories in poems is quite an impressive and commendable thing. I love the fact that the poem covers a lot of themes like joys, sorrows, living full, reliance etc. I look forward to reading this great collection of poems book. I appreciate the reviewer for the work well done.
