I just recently started reading poetry, so I don't really know how to rate it. I did truly enjoy the whole book; the weirdness and the beauty of it, but then again I don't feel like I understood half of the book because I don't know much about Leonard Cohen and his life. Still, I'm going to give the book 4 stars, just because I really enjoyed reading it.

Some of my favorite poems from the book include: "Better", "Fun", "I Wrote For Love", "Nightingale", "The Faith" and "Report To R.S.B."

There are definitely some beautiful pieces in this collection, although it may have gotten further on Leonard Cohen's reputation than it's own merit.

restlessly wandering the city at night and it's only me, Cohen, God, and *checks notes* 30-50 naked women
