THIS BOOK WAS GIVEN TO ME AS A GIFT A VERY LONG TIME AGO, BACK IN 1975. THE POETRY WAS WONDERFUL AND BEING IN LOVE WITH A VERY SPECIAL PERSON AT THE TIME AND SHARING "THE POEMS OF DR. ZHIVAGO" WITH HIM......MADE ME BELIEVE THIS BOOK WAS MADE FOR "LOVERS"!

Poetry within poetry, Jan 7 2010
By NightOwl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Poems of Doctor Zhivago (Hardcover)
Doctor Zhivago is one of my all-time favorite movies.
When there is a snow storm, I play Dr. Zhivago. A little
background, so you know how much I love this. I purchased
a used copy of the book and the real surprise was the
"gift within the gift." Inside the book, there was an
inscription that read, "From the depths of my Slovic heart."
It melted me. Obviously, this book was given to a
"special" someone. I think the original purchaser would be
very happy to know that someone much like he/she now owns it.
Enough said on that topic.
OK, on to the product - I thought it was great, but was
surprised (not disappointed, just surprised) at the amount
of religious "themed" poems found within ... a sign of the
times and that's history.
