But in the end I guess she chose to write about neither and I am still wondering where the "brutally honest" part was as this book is about as deep and dark as a children's picture book.Sevketoglu E, Hatipoglu S, Ayan I, Dogan O, Salihoglu B. Case report: POEMS syndrome in childhood. J Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 2008 Mar. 30(3):235-8. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. I had a hard time choosing a rating for this one. Like a previous poetry collection I read by the same author, the poems are very personal. Majority of the poems are based off of people they knew or met, or of herself, so it is difficult to rate something very personal. Giglia F, Chiapparini L, Fariselli L, Barbui T, Ciano C, Scarlato M. POEMS syndrome: relapse after successful autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Neuromuscul Disord. 2007 Dec. 17(11-12):980-2. [QxMD MEDLINE Link].

I think she roasted Geminis once (ironically not in the Geminis chapter though) but then again calling us "two faced" is far from the best insult I've ever heard about my rising sign. Dispenzieri A, Klein CJ, Mauermann ML. Lenalidomide therapy in a patient with POEMS syndrome. Blood. 2007 Aug 1. 110(3):1075-6. [QxMD MEDLINE Link].I also love how in the introduction of her book she wrote that she was going to be "brutally honest", which made me so excited since I expected her to write about both the strengths and the weakness of the zodiac signs and maybe roast them a bit. Kanai K, Kuwabara S, Misawa S, Hattori T. Failure of treatment with anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody for long-standing POEMS syndrome. Intern Med. 2007. 46(6):311-3. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. Ganti AK, Pipinos I, Culcea E, Armitage JO, Tarantolo S. Successful hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation in multicentric Castleman disease complicated by POEMS syndrome. Am J Hematol. 2005 Jul. 79(3):206-10. [QxMD MEDLINE Link]. The poems don't rhyme, they don't flow, and they have no rhythm. A few have no consistent theme, and some don't make sense.
