    Love Cohen, but I can take this book or leave it
  

*by J***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 19, 2018*

I want to start out by saying I’m a fan [of Leonard Cohen]. I absolutely loved Book of Longing (although to be completely honest, I had to read it a second time to realize that I loved it) as well as Let Us Compare Mythologies.This book didn’t touch me the way those other two books did. Deep down, maybe I’m a romantic, and I’m primarily attracted to the sensual aspects of Cohen’s poetry, something that is largely missing from this book, at least in the way it’s found in those other two books. And, it’s also possible that when I come back for a second reading of Book of Mercy in a few months (something I’ve learned to make a practice of doing with poetry [even though this isn’t exactly poetry – he called it a book of prayer in one interview that I listened to]).So for now, I have to be honest and give a rating of 3/5, even though I am reserving the right to stew on it for a while, re-read the book, and change my rating.Final say: I’ll say I can take it or leave it.

    A rework of Psalms
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 4, 2015*

Sadly, I had not heard of Leonard Cohen until True Detective 2 used his song “Nevermind” as its theme song.  The song intrigued me enough that I bought the album “Popular Problems”.  After reading about Cohen I knew I had to buy some of his writings.The Book of Mercy is billed as a modernization of Psalms. Cohen’s talent as a poet/writer is evident as he laments about life and its troubles. Written in a prose style, his poetic talent shines through.While reading each selection, I was constantly reminded of the actual Psalms. This made me think of these as more of a reworking than as new reflections. The tone is somber and while there are 50 selections, they seemed to have one note. I am a wretch but God loves me anyway.This was a hard book to review as Cohen is an amazing writer but this particular book did not demonstrate his talent very well.This one, reluctantly, gets only three stars.
