4.5 stars I didn't expect to like this book because I'm not a fan of poetry. So that was a turn off for this book for me, but then I started it and had to finish it. It's a very short book so the poetry was a fast read. The way this book is written is beautiful enough for me not to notice it's written in an preferred formal for me. I would have liked to know more about each of these individuals since in the short amount of time I spent with each of them they came to life and I wanted to know more.
