This is not
the easiest book to review, but I will try to put into the best possible words
why I think this book is a triumph.Simon Palmers brave biography of sexual abuse, and the subsequent affect on his life is eloquently portrayed with a combination of engaging narrative and poetry. Behind the uncomfortable words, I see a perfectly balanced, sensitive person who is not only a talented writer, but someone who has cleverly looked at all the angles of his past and distilled it into a piece of writing that not only touches the heart, but challenges aspects of life that we would all sometimes, just rather ignore.
It is raw and honest; and for that alone this book deserves to be `out there.'

soul-wrenching and very important read., May 10, 2012
This
review is from: Losing the Hate (Kindle Edition)
Soul-wrenching, and despite the unsettling content that brought my skin
shuddering with every page, this work is interjected with some equally
unsettling poems as beautiful as they are terrifying. Huge respect to Simon
Palmer for putting pen to paper and creating an important book for those
suffering the destructive force of child abuse.
