Starting with the cover, I will say it suits the title really well. The cover is quite good as it doesn't feel either too clamped up or either too spacy. Onto the blurb, It sounds attracting and makes a person want to read. Themes are very interesting. I like how they aren't the common ones like "Love" "Memories" and stuff. They do hold their own importance. However new, unique themes are appreciated more. The phrases were perfectly rhymed as well as the writing style was literal as well as figurative; the true components of a poetry book. A "Great work!" from my side!

Title of book: Forever June
Author: eternitea40
Judged by: Cheese490

Theme: 9/10

A story of a boy who’s just lost someone he loved; it’s a theme that hits home for a lot of people. Your collection of poems is about June’s journey which I really liked.

Writing style: 9/10

Your writing style is really unique! It was really emotive and I like how it rhymes! They express how June is feeling and some of the poems made me want to cry. You use a lot of powerful figurative language which I loved.

Originality: 10/10

I don’t know whether this is purely fictional or based on personal experiences, but it’s still amazing!!

Editing: 8/10

You set your poems out really nicely, the stanzas flow really well! I also quite liked how you only used lowercase letters in your poems. I loved how you used a banner at the end of each poem, it gave me the impression that these poems might be written in June’s diary!

Spag: 19/20

Your vocabulary is some of the best I’ve ever seen! All everything was spelt right and I didn’t see any grammatical errors!

Personal rating: 5/5

Your poems are beautiful. Each one was amazing and heart-wrenching! My favourite one had to be the colour wheel poem! Great work!

Title of book: ESCAPE
Author: namjoonah22

Theme: 9/10

I really like the theme you've gone for in your book. We read to escape from the world we live in and that's exactly what happened while reading your poems!

Writing style: 9/10

Your poems tell stories and as you said in the description, they are definitely songs without words! The way you write makes it seem as though people are having a conversation, either with another person, with themselves or with us, the readers, which I think is really cool! The little messages at the end of each poem are amazing too!

Originality 7/10

Even though you take inspiration from other poets, authors, songs and even past experiences, they're still unique! Most of your poems have positive messages which really made my day!

Editing 10/10

The way you set out your work is so cool! I absolutely loved how in some poems, different stanzas were on different sides of the page to give the impression that two people are having a conversation! And putting different parts of your poem in bold or in italics makes people pay attention to it more, it also strengthens the idea of different voices. I really liked the pictures you put at the end of each poem too!

Spag: 19/20

(Spelling, punctuation and grammar)
Your poems are very well written. I really like how they rhyme! I didn't find any spelling errors nor did I find any grammatical errors! You should be proud of yourself!!

Personal rating 5/5

Overall, I loved your book! Once I started reading, I was totally submerged into it. Your poems are really beautiful and well written! Can't wait to read your next poem!
