## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great :)
*by E***E on 11 July 2012*

Perfect pocket sized book with the complete poems in it (not just extracts, which i have mistakely bought before!). Very approprietely priced and the introduction most interesting. Would reccomend smaller/less packaging though!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Masterful Howl of Rage
*by A***B on 18 March 2016*

This, as one would expect from a poetry book once the subject of a long court trial on it's possible obscenity, is a pocket book full of anger very well expressed. Howl is a roar of rage against the culture of drug taking which 'destroyed the best minds' of Ginsberg's generation. Ginsberg watched his friends descend into madness, starving ,dragging themselves through the streets at dawn, ever in search of the next fix. Ginsberg's pain and impotent rage burns through every page of this little book, first published in 1956 - and yet still so relevant in these times. A masterpiece.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ howl
*by D***D on 12 January 2022*
