Good Points: If you enjoy the reflective times in life, honesty about relationships and mundanity - then you will love Larkin'smelancholic look at life in verse.
Bad Points: If you area depressive it may not be for you! Then again - you may find it cathartic.
General comments: I love it! Larkin was a master of words.

The Whitsun Weddings is a collection of poems by Philip Larkin to do with death, depression and disappointment. This may make you think that the book will be dreary and something to avoid, but Larkin's poems actually seem to represent what we all feel sometimes but just can't accept.
The poems are well-observed and sometimes witty, spread throughout the book in such a way that no two poems of the same theme are next to each other. My personal 'favourites' of this collection are the title poem ...
