itsreirei 's review for:

Violet a fűben hátrahajol by Lana Del Rey
4.25

Already listened to the audiobook before - which I could barely hear because of the background instrumental, lol - but I really wanted to have the physical book as well. Love the overall look/feel, the pictures, the text font, the paintings, the paper. The poems are beautifully written, very Lana - yet I believe one doesn't have to know her songs prior to reading this collection, the poems can be enjoyed on their own. Stream of conciousness, descriptions, stories, feelings: Lana's thoughts and experiences come off as very personable and familiar, one of the things I love about her work. The haikus at the end were a bit underwhelming for a closure but other than that, gorgeous piece of art. Would probably recommend reading while listening along to the audiobook for the full experience!
