Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ When my 8th grader asked for this book I read the reviews and ratings and ordered it because (1) yay, she’s reading and (2) totally on board with women’s empowerment. I did not see anything in the information about the sexually explicit “poems” or graphics sprinkled throughout. There will be a page with something totally appropriate for a middle school/high schooler, then bam! you get hit with a shocking graphic or verse. (I tried to post an example and my review was denied because it was too obscene. Enough said.) Thank God I picked it up out of curiosity so I could explain to her why I was going to shelf it for a couple of years before giving it to her. There are some good messages for girls/women, but on the other hand I may never be able to eat another cantaloupe again. The quality of the writing (meh…) is not the issue here because the shock value screams out so loudly.

⭐ I am so disappointed in this book. I finished this book in under 30 minutes. I only liked maybe 3 or 4 poems. Most of the poems sound like the tweets and Facebook statuses of a whiny 14 year-old. Other poems were just uncomfortable to read. I think there is power and something unequivocally beautiful about poems that eloquently speak about pain, the strength to overcome, and the growth that ensues. The poems were awkward, overrated, and underwhelming. I can’t get over the format either. There were poorly drawn sketches next to a many poems. One poem was even placed in-between the sprawled legs of a woman as if the poem was her vag. Also, all the letters were in lowercase which drove me NUTS. It would be worth checking this out in the library before purchasing it.

⭐ Based on the dichotomy of positive and negative reviews, it’s clear that “Milk and Honey” isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. I enjoyed it, but then I could relate to many of the stories of love, heartache, grief, pain, and healing conveyed throughout this collection. I fully understand that others may not find any such connection with Kaur’s writing, particularly if they haven’t experienced the human condition through a lens similar to Kaur’s. In a medium like poetry, the essence of the author’s personal expression is as an individual sharing something that is both honest and personal — not everyone is going to appreciate it and that’s okay.

⭐ kudos to the marketing team behind this book that havemanaged to hype up asteamy turd of literature.the authormay have lived a verytraumatic lifebut this is not poetry or anything that resembles poetry.very dumbed down,maybe would have gotten a C-had I written any of these in middle school,how are people actually enjoying this book?My14 year oldrequested it(trendy)and even she read a page and was disappointed…bland and unimaginative.PS: I have now written poetry according to the example set by milk and honey

⭐ Borderline x rated at times. Feels like reading poetry from a teenage girls diary, delving into depression, rape, and suicidal tendencies. Probably not a book that you want in a teen’s hands to say the least.

⭐ being a man, i read the first few pages and could not put it down. read the entire book in just over an hour. read every little bit carefully. so much emotion rose from me after reading this. has become apart of my collection. in love with it.

⭐ I’m going to be that person. I purchased this book thinking there was no way I couldn’t appreciate it. With amazing reviews and topping the charts, I was so excited to read this. I was incredibly disappointed. The book resembles Facebook statuses from your one friend who is overly emotional about an ex. The beginning of the book did not have me in tears, but questioning the language. I feel poetry is where you have the most freedom to play with words and how they flow and sound together, and it really did not meet my expectations. Some of the one liners I’m sure I’ve seen from other people on photo captions – so basic that it’s difficult to call it original material. I felt uncomfortable reading it, and I really wanted to feel empathetic. It wasn’t for me at all. Probably the most disappointed I’ve ever been after reading poetry.

⭐ To me this book proved that you can write down whatever random thought you have and call it poetry and that’s fine, it just wasn’t to my taste. I should’ve read more one star reviews. I was looking for poetry by a young upcoming poet and maybe I am stuck enjoying an older generation of poets who grew up without the advent of social media. It reads like a bunch of text messages.

⭐ Who keeps rating this book with four and five stars? I am generally one of the most open people to defining art. But this stuff is not art. This is some of the most trite poetry I have ever read, and exemplifies zero skill of poetic craft. Hallmark cards are better poetry. It seriously worries me that this is what passes for poetry today and people eat it up. Says more about the shallowness of readers than it doe about her poetic skill.

⭐ My 15 year old want this book. I’m so glad I flipped through it before giving it to her to read. Its kinda like soft porn but I don’t get how its poetry. She thought it was a book of poems. I think instead of waisting my time returning it I’m going to throw it in the trash, that’s where it belongs.
