While I appreciated the messages that A Walk Through Life attempted to convey, I felt that these messages were overpowered with the way in which they were presented. Every poem had precisely the same construction: a rhyme pattern of AABBCC and so on throughout the poem. This would not pose a problem if it were not for the rhymes themselves. Each rhyme was laboriously chosen, resulting in the fact that the rhythm of each poem was lost in the effort. It was common in this book for two lines to be of completely different lengths and simply rhyme at the end. Despite this, I enjoyed the author's attempt, though the aforementioned criticism keeps the book from being what it could be. Hidden within the book are the promises of what it could be with a bit more effort; there were several lines that fit perfectly and seemed to light the poems. If one wishes to seek perspective and better understanding in their life, I would recommend this book, but not for the poetry itself.
