A review by elenalsmith28
Love Is a Dog from Hell by Charles Bukowski

2.0

i originally picked up this book because i had read several of his poems and enjoyed the melancholy, however, i sadly, misjudged his writing and was left greatly disappointed.

i got about half way through this book and had to stop. perhaps i’m missing something, but this genuinely wasn’t interesting or good, to me. bukowski seems to me, a bitter man who got bored and decided to write poems about him drinking beer, being quite horrible to women, and using “the crapper.” i would not recommend this book to anyone who loves good poetry, however, if my description of this book has intrigued someone, give it a whirl.
