don't really know how to rate this. You will love it if you have some idea what the poems are about but if you go in blind expecting something else you probaly won't like it. It delivers greatly on what it sets out to do

Sadly these poems weren't for me

I think they were a little too specific to British people, alcohol and bad men for my liking. I just couldn't relate to any of them.
