A review by littlebookjockey
Selected Poems by Robert Burns

3.0

This is a difficult one to rate. I know some Scots, but not nearly enough to truly appreciate it when Burns uses it, at least without using the glossary in the back. I preferred his poems about Scottish independence, the wars, and the generally snarky ones. I tried to find as many of the songs as I could online so I could get a better feel for them, and I definitely recommend reading these out loud or finding narrations of them. Sometimes when you read them aloud, you can understand the Scots better because the spellings don't throw you off.
