Q: MISREPRESENTATION: This is 1892 Deathbed Edition! . Although the poems are beautiful... and I certainly don't mean to bash Whitman with this 2-star rating... it's the wrong book. NOT AS ADVERTISED. This was supposed to be the original 1855 edition. That's what I expected, and therefore (in my mind) what I was paying for. The original 1855 edition, according to modern literary analysis, was the "strongest/purest" version. It was the true starting point of Whitman's own (and consequently America's) poetic awakening. Consisting of just 12 "perfect" poems, it was THAT edition which Emerson praised so highly.    Whitman never put out another book... just revision after revision, addition after addition, and edition after edition of Leaves Of Grass... until you wind up with "the deathbed edition" which is a severely bloated and different work from the original.     I was very much looking forward to a slender volume of the original edition. Which is what the item description says this is. It's not. Be forewarned... it's the Deathbed Edition of 1892... nearly 500 pages. And frankly, there are MUCH better versions of the deathbed edition. Sturdier versions with nicer pages exist (this is a pretty weak paperback, printed on pulp pages), with better footnotes and more authoritive introductions. Shop around.     To sum up... the 2 star rating is because lying about which edition this is, is a terrible way to sell the book. Whitman was fantastic and the poetry contained in the book itself is first rate. It just would have been nice to get what I paid for. The "true" editon, written by a YOUNG Whitman at the height of his powers..

A: NEG

Q: Important Topics, No Substance . I approached this book with the utmost hopefulness since there has not been one to date on Asian American youth. Unfortunately, now that I am no longer in my teens I have a difficult time relating to their borderline cliche reflections. For sure the anthology could have done without the &quot;Now I'm in this Ivy League college&quot; biographies and most of the poetry, about which I wonder if the authors won't be a bit embarrassed later on. This was a much-needed effort, but just because there is urgency does not warrant slack editing

A: NEG

Q: Stay Clear of Lonely Planet . A hopeless mess of headlines and confusing comments, very little structure.  No rankings of what you should see and do, no pictures, no useful restaurant and hotel recommendations.  Endless yatter about nothing makes this a boring read with almost no real content.  Absolutely worthless on our Japan trip to Tokyo and Kyoto.  This is not the first time we have been disappointed by Lonely Planet. They cater to backpackers only, usually looking for the cheapest accomodation and meals, and with no value added for the traveller who is short on time but still wants to make the most out of his/her time.  We ended up buying the Eyewitness Guoide which is fast and easy to use.
