I really wanted to like this but the writing is very underdeveloped, predictable and often poorly chose. The dialogue was completely inhuman and clique simultaneously and the plot itself was so predictable and smooth that it was never exciting nor enchanting

Wow. Beautiful piece of writing, honest and very human, his reflections of the nature of love and hate, pain and pleasure, and his thoughts on the intersection of art and religion really spoke to me.

I did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I had heard that it was quite boring but I was very engaged throughout the whole book.

This was my first introduction to Keats work, it’s safe to say he has become my new favourite poet. The feeling of his work really speaks to me and I really relate to many of the themes he frequents. 
I am still processing all that this means to me, I’ll need some time to find the words, if I ever can.
