    I liked how one side it made sense and the other didn't.

  37. This is the most awsomest book ever! The reason why is because the poems are exactly the same! They are just flip-flopped! Amagine how much work that was for the author! I Would like to thank her for writing such a great book! I highly recommend it!

    I liked all the poems in the book but it was odd that some were rewritten backwards. it must have been difficult for the auther.

  44. I liked this book. The backwards poetry was confusing at first. Then after a while, I understood what was happening. It presents oppisite views.
