review 1: I came into this as a fan of Dessa's work with Doomtree. I expected a collection of provocative, hip-hop infused lyricism written in her style I've come to love. What I got instead was short stories, non-fiction, philosophical ruminations, and a couple free-verse poems. If you strictly want to see written rhymes you may be disappointed. The poetry is all free-verse and lacked the impact Dessa usually provides when she's on the mic, but for a fan this is still definitely worth picking up. The nonfiction pieces were full of Dessa's mastery of picking apart quiet, personal moments to reveal a heartfelt insight of the human condition. I'd recommend this to any Dessa fan without question and I would definitely read more of her work in the future.
review 2: Absolutel... morey breathtaking. I started reading it while I was in the middle of another book, and every time I walked past it I couldn't stop myself from picking it up, opening it to some random page, and reading just one more piece of the book. I read the entire thing this way inside a day, while still telling myself I would finish what I was reading before I actually "read" the book, but once I had finished picking through ever page, I sat down and read the whole thing cover to cover again, and then one more time the next day. As amazing as Dessa is with a mic, I think she is even more spectacular with a pen. less
