1: NOT THE SAME JOE HILL, GIVE THIS GUY A BREAK!
If you are looking for the Joe Hill who wrote Heart Shaped Box, this is NOT HIM. I don't understand why these people are even reviewing this guy AS THEY CLEARLY ALREADY KNOW HE'S NOT THE SAME JOE HILL. It's not fair to give a review based on associating him with another author of the same name. Therefore, I am giving him a positive review in order to 1) cancel out the bad reviews given by DUMMIES, and 2) to make a point that if you are a dummy, DON'T REVIEW! What kind of world are we living in???

2: unbelievably bad
if i could have given it no stars, i would have, and i consider myself well-read (if not well-typed).
i still can't figure out if this is the same joe hill that wrote "heart shaped box" or "20th century ghosts", and is the son of stephen king. there is no publisher's info in the book to confirm that it is, and the "poetry" is depressing, poorly written pap.
i'm seldom moved to write a review, but i have to say, i actually round-filed this book, which i NEVER do.
"20th century ghosts", on the other hand, if it was written by the same joe hill, i found AMAZING, a book worthy of being the base of college literary classes. i don't even have the words to describe it.

3: Surviving
Having read the "Heart-Shaped Box" first, I was expecting more of the same. I was really disappointed with "Surviving". This publication is one of Joe Hill's first and it's bad essay/poetry at best. The "Heart-Shaped Box", on the other hand, was excellent. I am certainly not going to order "20th Century Ghosts" until I read some reviews on it first.

4: Poetry with a twist
I purchased this book because I loved Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill. I was hoping this book was in the same genre but I was very disappointed. It was depressing and while well written, it was not what I expected it to be.

5: Not the same Joe Hill
Avoid this if you are looking to buy books written by the Joe Hill that wrote Heart Shaped Box or 20th Century Ghosts. This is a book of poetry. And, unfortunately, it's pretty poor poetry; quite juvenile in it's nature. Steer clear.
