Really enjoyed the poems. Short stories weren’t my fave though.

This one was definitely hit and miss for me. I have to say, of the two books in this bind-up, I definitely preferred A Boy's Will. Within both, though, I found some poems that I really enjoyed and some poems that I really didn't care for. I found there to be a certain simplicity, or rather directness, to Frost's verse. Sometimes this was refreshing, allowing him to express beauty without being weighed down by superfluous embellishment. But I also found myself wanting Frost to be more expressive, explore more detail, and write more whimsically; I found his verse sometimes flat. All in all, I'd say A Boy's Will is worth a read, but North of Boston? Not so much.

A Boy's Will, I could appreciate; but North of Boston, I deeply admire. The latter half of this book is where the winter scenes and seemingly simple but hauntingly beautiful works convinced me to be a fan of Frost's.
Some favorite works for reference:
-"A Late Walk" and "Reluctance" from A Boy's Will
-"The Mountain," "Home Burial,"After Apple-Picking," and "The Wood-Pile" from North of Boston
