One of the Boys

Maria Caris' poetry provides us a crash course on he different psyches of male but in a fresh poetic manner. Each poem paints a colorful vibrant portrait of the character. Reading his book is like having a stroll in a museum of portraits and one can help butstare in awe at each artworks. A definitely fun and spectacular read.

I found this book of poetry very insightful. The author clearly describes men that I have known in my 62 years of life. The fact that she is able to place these personalities into a vision that the reader can vividly see and feel, is very expressive. There are some flaws in the writing delivery, which are minor, especially coming from someone's debut work.

Several of the poems have become favorites of mine. The author is clearly bright in perception. She seems to have studied men from the family, friendship, and romantic angels to incorporate her poetry. I found the book very enjoyable, and mature. Excellent for the Young and New Adult readers.

When you slowly lose hope and become a Misandry but you encountered a book that depicted different types of men (real ones) in a poignant, comical, creative literary yet did not miss minute details as if the author has delved right into each of the the character's souls. It's just so amazing how a very young girl (the author) can grasp and comprehend not only the character's traits, she was able to see through their potentials too (or the lack of) both good and bad traits of one of the boys were accurately captured and painted, they were not sugar coated, just plain, exact details, yet the author did not fail to inject creativity and playful words in rhymes to aptly describe it's characters. Not only did I enjoy flipping each page as I uncover each traits, each unique sensible, exciting life story of one of the boys, I also realize that there are still a lot of good and sensible things to see in people, despite and not discounting their quirks and fobles.
