A Night Without Armor (Abridged) Audiobook

" Do. Not. Laugh. "

" Thought it was amazing and deep. When I was in grade 9. Pathetic drivel. It's really too bad. "

" There are some gems of expression and emotion in this volume, and a few truly deep and remarkable finds. However, for the most part it's an awful lot about love and sex which becomes rather redundant at times in theme as well as in the ideas/thoughts behind these themes. The best ones are about family, loneliness, Alaska, and most of all nature in relation to the divine. In other words, she's no Neruda, but does have a voice worth listening to now and then. "

" I read this at age 18 and back then it seemed a lot deeper. Going back to it now, I can see that I just didn't have much basis for comparison. I'm still glad I read it, because it did introduce me to written poetry--strangely, I purchased an e.e. cummings book of poetry right after I read this the first time. We all need a "gateway drug" into poetry, I guess. This was mine. "

" Some poems are cute, but all in all it's really not that good. I prefer her music. "

" I put this on the "10 year old me" shelf, but really, I was 18. I LOVE this book. A couple of the poems are so-so, but some of them resonated so deeply with me that I will never forget them. "

" I love this book of poetry which I first found at a used book store on cd. The poems are beautiful and powerfully moving, and they are made even more so when they are read by Jewel on the audio book. "

" Sadly, this book contained only a small handful of good poems. A lot of it was rather poor. "

" I liked this book as a teenager. I think it is good for people of that age. "

" PEACEFUL. QUIET. REFRESHING. "

" Poetry that is readable and honest. Some are beautiful, some are story-like, some are political. I enjoyed this collection, and will revisit the poems again in the future. Jewel is an exceptional artist. "

" This Alaskan folk turn country singer has not only written some of my favorite lyrics but also some of my favorite verses. Beautiful Read. "

" I like her poetry more than her music. "

" I really enjoyed this when I first read it in high school. At that age, it was a great introduction to freestyle poetry that I could relate to. "

" As a fan of Jewel's music, I was surprisingly disappointed with this book of poems. The same ten words keep reappearing in poem after poem. "

" some of the poems were abosolutely amazing, i have gone back to read 5-10 of them over again. i may return to reading other poems or books she may have written. "

" Eh....goldfish in bellies....I dunno ab out this one guys... "

" I liked it. Written or rather published back in 1998, much has happened in the world, and in Jewel's life since then...I bet she has continued to write poetry. I wonder if she will ever have it published someday. "

" Inspirational! Moving! Honest! I have rediscovered my love of poetry, a passion that for too long now has lain dormant. "

" A friend gave me this book for a birthday gift. We played guitar together, she was teaching me how to play and she only played Jewel songs. She was obsessed. Well, I hated the book. I never told her though. "

" I learned that poetry doesn't fit neatly into the box that my college poetry professor would have had me believe. Jewel really blurs the line between poetry and song. If there ever was a line. "

" I read this (and loved it!) in high school and am curious what I would think if I re-read it now. "

" My all-time favorite book of serious poetry. It doesn't quite top Shel Silverstein on the all-time list. :) "

" I have been a fan of Jewel's for a very long time. I enjoyed reading her poems and looking at pictures of her. She is a very inspirational person to me. "

" She is an incredible writer! "

" I thought the poetry was okay when I had originally read it around the age of 14. I'm not even sure I'd actually call it poetry now. They're really more like random observations excerpted from one of her journals. "

" Loved this book of poetry! Highly recommended. The perfect bedtime read. "

" I picked this up at my Library book sale attracted by the name.A pretty poetic name but not a poet. I really really like poetry alas not Jewel Kicher's. "

" This book inspired me to publish my own book of poetry! Kudos!! "

" I love how simple but deep Jewel's poetry is. I love her music, so it's no surprise that I love her poetry. "

" I like Jewel, so what can I say? "

" If she were not a celebrity this would not even make it to a slush pile. "

" Her shorter poems seem to have more punch than the longer ones. Better than I expected. "
