One of Donne's most important and haunting works in prose, Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions was composed in less than a month, during an illness that nearly cost the writer his life. Donne divided the book into twenty-three sections, each corresponding to a stage of his illness and eachconsisting of a meditation, an expostulation, and a prayer.

I don't usually read books about religion and I must say that I've been drawn to this one due to it being the "house" of the infamous sentence that originated several other works like Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" or Metallica's song that takes the same name. Oh, and also for it having a quotation used in the game The Walking Dead. That being said, I kinda hoped that this book would be suitable for people who liked some more poetic literature. I'm saddened to say that I was wrong, because the book really failed in catching my interest, and I can't even blame the book or the author himself. This book was not aimed for someone like me. And given the fact that I'm not a religious person, I believe that the reason this happened is the same reason that people who don't like horror books don't read Stephen King's books: it's just not interesting for them.

I'm giving two stars for this book because I think that the main sentence that I was expecting to read was there, and the context for it as well. As for the rest of it... well, maybe I'm better off with my action books. ( )
