Rating: Summary: THIS BOOK DEMONSTRATES THE GENIUS OF POE. Review: EDGAR ALLAN POE WAS PROBABLY THE GREATEST AMERICAN AUTHOR WHO EVER LIVED. HIS WRITING SHOWS THAT AN AUTHOR HAS TO BE PRECISE WHILE CAPTURING HIS READERS INTEREST. HIS ANNABELLE LEE IS THE MOST ACHINGLY BEAUTIFUL POEM IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
Rating: Summary: I like it! Review: I am ordering it because I saw it in a local bookstore and it was much more than it is here. I really like The Raven and a Tell-Tale Heart so I figured I better order it. I really like the Raven. I liked it so much that I memorized it for a school project! It was hard but I did it! As a matter of fact, I still remember some of it!
Rating: Summary: A book I could never bring myself to get rid of Review: I had always liked what I had read of Poe's work, but it had always been the more popular works, not enough to really feel his style of writing. This book, however, got me reading all of his writing and I immediately, and still increasingly, fell in love with Poe's style of writing, and most of all his humor and sarcasm, which can be quite subtle. My only regret is that I don't know latin, which would help the reader understand more of his side comments and quotes, French would be good too, but neither are necessary.
Rating: Summary: It hooks you once you start it you cant put it down Review: Im 13 and I read the whole book sitting in my lunch peirod I just couldnt put it down. I loved Annabel Lee that was my favirote

Rating: Summary: Poe is an underappreciated genius Review: Poe has been overlooked by today's literary order, but the man was one of the finest American authors ever. His stories paved the way for other great and popular authors--everyone from Conan Doyle to Stephan King. This book is an outstanding collection and should be read not for its literary value (which is tremendous) but for the sheer fun of it.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic Poe! Review: Poe is one of the best horror writers ever to have lived. I have read all of his works. Some of his best stories are The Fall of the House of Usher, The Masque of Red Death, The Black Cat, The Cask of Amontaiado, The Pit and the Pendelum, and The Tell-Tale Heart. His great poems include-The Raven and The Bells. Poe is a fantastic author, and his creepy tales of the dark side of life should be read over and over.
Rating: Summary: Fantastic Poe! Review: Poe is one of the world's finest writers and this collection of stories is what he's all about. This book contains the best of his tales, with many others for you to explore on your own. It has his poems and short stores. Its contents is very close to being unabridged except, for it missing a few poems and stories that aren't very good anyway. Poe's tales contain all the excitement of a novel, in around 10 pages. I recommend this collection because it offers hours of enjoyment. The only thing you might need is a large vocabulary because he tends to have an advanced word choice. Get this book and have fun!
