Carol Ann Duffy, The World's Wife Review

Overall Rating

I am studying The World#s wife by Carol Ann Duffy for A level at the moment and i really like the witty humor and the distasteful "slagging off" of men and I'm male which makes it odd i suppose. People are asking if the is derogatory to men which i reply to as "depends on how insecure you are" it is disrespectful to men in some parts but its disrespect is matched by its humor because i find them rather funny. If you enjoy a light read, as most of the poems are a maximum of 2 pages long, and need uplifting i would recommend this book to anyone.
