I Wrote This for You by Iain S. Thomas
3.0

This book look like an artistic journey by the author. It's made by putting together pictures and poems. First of all the photography are truly beautiful, most of them are black and white, and they really seem to capture a moment, so that's a good point. Another good one, the pairing between the pictures and the poems are well done, sometimes in this type of book the pictures and the poems just don't seem to fit or to have some kind of link between them, here, we see those link, that inspiration. My last point, and kind of a rude one, I'm sorry, is the poem writing, I'm no expert, but I had to double checked the author, because for me, that kind of poetry seem to have been written by a teenage girl, not an adult male. Those poems are full of cheap love clichés and I really can't rely to them. There were some good sentences here and there, but way to fews to made it a good one. Four stars for the pictures, one point five, maybe two for the writing, with the good pairing I gave it an overall three, but keep in mind that the pictures give it a big boost!
