Book Reviews of See a Grown Man Cry, Now Watch Him Die

Book Review: A look into a heart of darkness.
Summary: 5 Stars

Following the tragic and seemingly misunderstood death of his best friend, Henry Rollins bears his understandaby bitter and tortured soul unabashedly in this collection of his writings. If you've read any of his previous works you may have an idea of what to expect, but if you haven't then you are in for the literary ride of your life. How might one begin to describe Rollins' writings? Poetry seems too cut and dried a definition, as there is no true "poetic style" in the traditional sense. Rather, Rollins has created his own unique style which is both raw and forceful. The reader is left with no doubt as to the message and feelings that are being conveyed and Rollins' personal pains seap out of the page. It is Rollins' unique and refreshing view-points that affect the reader, in addition to his trials in all walks of life, that leave one with a feeling of empathy for much of what he has to say. I would whole-heartedly encourage anyone, whether a veteran of the works of Henry Rollins, both literary and aurally, or a stranger to emerse themselves in the life of a truly talented and strong artist that is Rollins. I would also encourage one to do so with an open-mind and a strong constitution
