Rating this book feels bizarre

Rating For When She’s Feeling Blue feels bizarre

as rating someone’s feelings for their lover on a five-star scale isn’t necessarily the right thing to do;

however, I have to rate it, so…this book is a one-star read.

One thing I can appreciate: Holmes’ persistence and determination to understand and reassure his girlfriend of the love he carries for her in his heart.

Leaving aside his intention(s), his poetry is flat and lacking both depth and emotion, being mostly characterized by straightforward words that are rather statements than poems.

While I understand what he wanted to convey, I can’t help associating his lines with searching for “love quotes” on Tumblr around 2008 or with the typical pick-me-up love songs teenagers were listening to when falling in love for the first time. Perhaps if I were younger I would’ve appreciated his poetry more, and I am sure there are many people who do, but at this stage in life five words don’t always make for a poem.

پنج ستاره

از آنجایی که ارزیابی احساسات یک نفر نسبت به معشوقش در مقیاس پنج ستاره لزوماً کار درستی نیست. با این حال، من باید به آن امتیاز بدهم، بنابراین … این کتاب یک ستاره خوانده شده است. یک چیز را می توانم قدردانی کنم: اصرار و عزم هولمز برای درک و اطمینان دادن به دوست دخترش از عشقی که در قلبش برای او دارد. از نیت (هدف) او که بگذریم، شعر او صاف و فاقد عمق و احساس است. بیشتر با کلماتی سرراست مشخص می شود که بیشتر بیانیه هستند تا شعر.
