“To a Skylark” By Percy Bysshe Shelley Review

Posted in Other ReviewsTagged , Leave a comment

This poem is an ode to the “blithe” essence of a singing skylark and how human beings are unable to ever reach that same bliss. The poem begins with the speaker spotting a skylark flying above him.

I gotta say that this poem is actually a poem which I truly love. Because it sort of compare birds with humans. 

The plot here was amazing because the beginning is about the bird flying above the author and then the plot goes onto comparing humans to birds.

The writing style here was amazing and super fun to read. I think that the writing style in this poem really added a lot to the poem. And made me like the poem as much as I did. 

And I gotta say that this poem is also kind of unique which I’m giving it points for. 

It has also this old time vibe to it which I’m really a big fan off. And it has some very gothic vibe to it which I also love a lot.

I give this poem 5 / 5

“An Enigma” By Edgar Allan Poe Review

Posted in Other ReviewsTagged , , Leave a comment

To find her name, use the first letter of the first line, the second letter of the second line, the third letter of the third line, and so on.

This poem had the potential to get the full score but Edgar Allan Poe didn’t use that potential for whatever reason.

The plot itself was super interesting but it could have been much better if only Edgar Allan Poe had put some more work into this one. 

The writing style was amazing in this one. I shouted Edgar Allan Poe vibe which I truly loved in this one.

I give this poem 5 / 5

“Desiderata: A Poem for a Way of Life” By Max Ehrmann Review

Posted in Other ReviewsTagged , Leave a comment

This poem is a kind of long commentary on how one should consider their day to day life.

The writing style in this one was amazing, and it was super easy to read. 

The entire plot in this poem was amazing, and I had so fun time reading this poem. I don’t think that I’ve before enjoyed a poem as much as I enjoyed this one.

This poem is open minded which is good. But this poem is also inspiring, I’ve read it last year when I was in a month long reading slum, and this poem got me out of reading slum. 

This poem also has quite dispenses significant insight in it. Which i give it extra points for.

I give this poem 5 / 5

“Fire and Ice” By Robert Frost Review

Posted in Other ReviewsTagged , Leave a comment

It discusses the end of the world, likening the elemental force of fire with the emotion of desire, and ice with hate. It is one of Frost’s best-known and most anthologized poems.

Again im doing the same mistake of reading a poem even thou I now super well that im not a poem person and I don’t understand the hype with poems. However this one wasn’t half bad as many other poems I’ve read.

The writing style was pretty decent but nothing extraordinary.

The theme of this poem was beautifully and really fun to read about.

I give this poem 5 / 5 

“Memory” By H.P. Lovecraft Review

Posted in Other ReviewsTagged , , Leave a comment

This story takes place in the ancient valley of Nis, in vegetation-covered stone ruins described by Lovecraft in great detail. These crumbling blocks of monolithic stone now serve only for grey toads and snakes to nest under. Interspersed in the ruins are large trees that are home to little apes.

And again we are talking about the goat himself, of course I mean H.P Lovecraft.

This short story was amazing. One of these things which makes this short story great is that it uses many of Lovecraft’s common images and ideas. Like the recalling of the deep past mixed with the unknown things.

The writing style here was amazing, and it really proves why H.P Lovecraft is one of the most important writes who every lived. And it also shows why he has so many fans today. 

The story is what you imagine a short story by H.P Lovecraft would be like. It got something to it which makes it scary and it gives you goosebumps. And the story in this one feels like a mix between Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe and Alfred Hitchcock. 

The entire short story has an eerie vibe to it and the atmosphere in this one a scary vibe to it.

This short story has amazing delightfully and haunting depiction of memories which are of the fall of civilisation.

I give this short story 5 / 5

“Nothing Gold Can Stay” By Robert Frost Review

Posted in Other ReviewsTagged , Leave a comment

This poem explores the idea that nothing good or precious can last forever by using nature and The Garden of Eden as metaphors for cycles of life and death and the loss of innocence.

This poem is a 8 line poem written by no other than Robert Frost the master of poems. There is only one guy who writes better poems than Edgar Allan Poe and it is Robert Frost.

The entire uses throughout the entire poem the imagery of sunrise’s impact on Nature. Just as a metaphor for life and the loss of beauty and innocence as time goes by. And I truly loved that. 

The writing style is hard to review in poems because they are short and poems have a specific tactic they are written in. But if we compare the writing style with in this poem with other poems than we will see that the writing style here was amazing and extremely good.

This poem sort of connects the dots between the concept of Experience in every aspect of its being. And the fact that this poem explains the mysterious and even fantastic transformation which happened within the hour that sunrises come and go really makes this poem very unique and good.

And the mood which this poem has really makes you think about these simple moments like seeing sunrise or sunset and how fast they actually pass. 

This poem has also a very good underlying message in it which you realise after you have read the poem and thought about it for a while. 

This poem gets 5 / 5

“Sonnet — To Science” By Edgar Allan Poe Review

Posted in Other ReviewsTagged , , 1 Comment

Science is peering, destructive and interested only in cold realities. It will not allow the poet to soar in fantasy or even to sit peacefully dreaming beneath a tree. 

This poem is sort of a  beautiful poem to science, which I personally loved. I need to say that it is one of the best poems written by Edgar Allan Poe I have read so far. 

The writing style here is mixed with the beauty and the gothic and dark. Which is why Edgar Allan Poe is known from and so loved for. 

The poem is definitely one of the most classic poems out there which you can find. 

This poem is for sure one of the must read poems by Edgar Allan Poe and from the 1800 era. 

This poem is also an easy and quick read which makes this poem to read. 

This poem will for sure stick with some of you as it did in my situation. 

This poem is for sure one of the most interesting poems written so far at least.

I give this poem 5 / 5

“Hymn” By Edgar Allan Poe Review

Posted in Other ReviewsTagged , , Leave a comment

This poem shows how Poe is devoted to god. His devotion to god is excessively shown in the next two lines, where it says, In joy and woe- in good and ill- Mother of god be with me stille

To be honest here this poem is a short and sweet poem. Which for the most part speaks about love and devotion that would rival religion.

This poem is that one which is flowed well and it is also very easy to read. And let’s not forget that it is a quick read. 

The writing style is of course amazing because we are talking about Edgar Allan Poe here, so it would be strange if the writing style was anything but amazing. 

This is for sure one of the more interesting poems written by Edgar Allan Poe. 

This one is also very engaging. Which makes it even better.

This poem was so good that it almost feels like it was too short and that it should be way longer than it actually was.

I give this poem 5 / 5

“To Octavia” by Edgar Allan Poe Review

Posted in Other ReviewsTagged , , Leave a comment

This poem is a lovely short poem. Its dark but also pretty sweet in a way. 

This one makes you think of the potential danger that comes from allowing someone else to take hold of your heart. Because it gives them a chance to crush it and take away all that makes one happy.

The writing style is pretty dark but the theme gives it a sweet spotlight. The whole writing style is typical to Edgar Allan Poe.

I give this poem 5 / 5

“Insane Mode: How Elon Musk’s Tesla Sparked an Electric Revolution to End the Age of Oil” by Hamish McKenzie Review

Posted in Book reviewTagged , , 12 Comments

The award-winning Tesla Model 3, a premium mass-market electric car that went on sale in 2018, has reconfigured the popular perception of Tesla and continues to transform the public’s relationship with motor vehicles–much like Ford’s Model T did nearly a century ago. At the same time, company CEO Elon Musk courts controversy and spars with critics through his Twitter account, just as Tesla’s ever-increasing debt teeters on junk bond status.

I personally was pretty sceptic about this book when I first was starting to read it. But I need to admit that i really enjoyed it and I learned a bunch of things from this book. Even though I’m a huge Tesla geek it still had learned me a few things about Tesla and why people and the big car companies like BMW, Audi etc might be very skeptical about fully electrical cars. 

If you are someone who wants to learn about Tesla or electrical cars and the long and hard history to electrical cars take this book and really spend time with it.

Its important to say that this book might not be a page-turner for some people but give it a shot and go into it with an open mind and without thinking that electrical cars are completely bull shit. 

The writing style and the whole format of this book was amazing and incredible well executed. I really wish that more books like this one could have been written like this one.

This books starts with talking about Tesla and Elon Musk. And in general all the ups and downs which both Tesla and Elon Musk had from beginning. And the second part of this book are more about other fully electrical cars companies which Tesla and Elon Musk have inspired or influenced at some point. 

This book needs to get points for going into depth about the fact that an electric car is faster, lighter and cleaner than internal combustion engines.

However don’t get it wrong is not a Tesla or Elon Musk Biography book. Its the story of the electric car, and since Tesla together with Elon Musk and other people involved in the company where the first to actually make it through as survive as a fully electrical company a huge piece of this book is about them.

But I get the point why some people (especially the die hard fans of combustion engines) might think that this book is nothing but a very long article. However give it a shot, and don’t trash this book just because you don’t like electrical cars. 

I’m actually here under a big impression because i wasn’t expecting how good this book would turn out to be in the end. You can really learn a lot of things in this book if you just give it a shot.

I give this book 5 / 5
