Reader comments
I particularly like the narrative poem "Venus and Adoni". In the poem, Venus bravely pursues love, which I admire very much. But Adoni actually treats love as the butt of a joke, what a disgusting character! This book made me think a lot about human nature and love, and I feel like I have grown up. I recommend you read it too!
