They would walk away and not look back; and they would miss brilliance. I cant find the genius here. The ability to spin a yarn; capture a feeling and define a mood is missing; as if Ryan was working against the grain of his talent.10 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Reviews from actors = Red flagBy C. KellerIf I were to sit down; drink a fifth; let it sink in until my handwriting was almost completely illegible; then I would start writing things that sounded like what is found in this book.Of course; I suppose I could avoid the alcohol altogether and; instead; cut and past lines from "The OC" and then break them up into one- or two-word lines.I am glad there is one more poetry book in the poetry section; and Im ecstatic if Mr. Adams poetry turns on a few folks that had previously written off or never considered poetry. I also think its great that a singer/songwriter cares enough about literature to write a book of poetry.However; what bothers me is that any poet who is not already established as an actor/singer/anchorperson/political figure/Oprah guest that writes poetry like this would never get one; let alone two; books of poetry published in one year. This is not groundbreaking; this is not exploratory - this was published not because of literary merit; but star power. As a book of poetry; it is better than a high schooler could do; but at times incoherent and at other times repetitive and at other times a diary entry.But hey; if I can buy it on for less than ten bucks (including SH); its worth it. You cant read the Norton Anthology every day.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy jason Wm. Cortthanks
