Book Reviews of Leaves of Grass (Bantam Classics)
Book Review: Maybe try the little train that could.....
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr Boston everyone has their own opinions but to call this work boring is saying that you have no idea about what you are reading. No author has ever come close to understanding what it means to be a living organism in this universe then Whitman. He truly felt he was one with all if more people thought like him maybe we could get rid of things that I fail to understand like racism and war.Book Review: Outstanding Poems here
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the first books of poetry that I ever read. My Great Grand Father had this book, and it was very old looking to me when I first seen it 25 years ago, I was young then and didn't know that the book held a value. I don't know where it is now but I know the poems were really good and I enjoyed them immensely. Walt Whitman is a great writer, and I enjoy is poems.Book Review: great thinker of his time

Summary: 4 Stars
Superb, the conversational technique is quite endearing. But, I disagree with a number of reviews (particularly American reviewers)who proclaim Whitman one of THE greatest poets: no he isn't. I wouldn't forget Shakespeare, Donne, Arnold, Keats, Blake, Shelley, Pushkin, Goethe, Rilke, Yeats and Eliot.Book Review: Walt is the Man!
Summary: 5 Stars
This stuff is out of the stratosphere, and I don't think that is too strong a statement. What a people-lover the man was! What passion! I plan to give my first-born son the middle name of Walt in his honor. And who cares if Bill gave a volume of Leaves of Grass to Monica? Share the joy baby.
