- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Lullabies is more of the same that was in Lang Leav’s Love & Misadventure. A few poems strayed away from the love theme and they were by far the better poems. I was disappointed that her poetry didn’t grow between the books.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was the first Lang Leav book I ever read and I loved it. I've been wanting to read her poetry for a while since I am such a fan of her boyfriend's (Michael Faudet) poetry.This collection is absolutely beautiful. I loved how it was broken up into three parts and the story it told. Overall, I just adored this collection and will definitely be reading more from her.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was good ? it just didn’t really move me to much. All and all I might try some more of poetry.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I need more poetry in my life, but not this poetry. There were a handful (and I'm being generous by saying a handful) of gems in Lang Leav's "Lullabies" but most of this was fairly terrible... as in lovelorn musings that any high school age student could produce. This was definitely disappointing.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A few weeks ago, I finished reading "Love & Misadventure". It was a gem! I loved Lang Leav take on modern poetry, her simple way of telling personal stories, the way the whole book evolved from games, to heartache and finally true love. This is what I expect from "Lullabies".
As beautiful as Lullabies was, I felt it was missing what the previous book had, it was all over the place, especially part 3, as for part 2 it was just not what I expected to find in her book. Her style is still beautiful, her words are charming but not a 5. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was beautifully worded
and painfully read
- "A Letter" - Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5What did I miss? I was thrilled when I Finished all the positive reviews this book got and enthusiastically set about devouring it, happy to have found it. There were a couple of poems at the beginning that I liked - "Metamorphosis", for example, but then, after a while, the sippy romance and what the blurb called the "child-like facade" between "woeful and whimsical" (and what that mean, really?) made them grow stale.
Finisheding about a "girl" whose most sole features are that she is in love and likes poetry and books and falls in love with a sad haunted "boy" to me is unappealing enough, but if those characteristics remain the only ones, I really don't have much to catch my attention as far as content goes. Since then I didn't find much striking imagery anymore or, to me, any discernible complexity because of that "child-like facade" and found myself more in what seems to be greeting card territory, I was out. I probably wouldn't be this disappointed if I hadn't been so enthusiastic about this.
Also, being a rather happily married woman in a same-sex partnership I think I was probably in the wrong mood, as you seem to need to be really young, heterosexual, and unhappily in love with an equally young heterosexual. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Lullabies is more of the same that was in Lang Leav?s Love & Misadventure.
