Pretty cool, I loved the angel of the odd, and the way it talked. The overall story was very vivid, although a few times I didn't quiet grasp what exactly was going on, but that's on me reading the story too fast I suppose.

I had to read this for a class. It was odd and not my idea of horror but an alright story overall.

He leído este libro varias veces y todavía me gusta como la primera vez, e incluso me sigo riendo. Es tan gracioso e irónico, definitivamente mi tipo de humor.

Nunca había pensado en leer esto hasta que tome mi edición recopilatoria de Poe y lo encontré por casualidad, entonces dije ¿por qué no?

Debo anunciar que está entre mis obras favoritas de Poe porque tengo que admitir que estuve riendo la mayoría del tiempo gracias a El Ángel de lo Estrambótico, como es llamado en mi edición. Este personaje sin duda es tan especial que no se cómo explicarlo pero simplemente es tan irónico y vengativo que no pude parar de reír y no es algo que haga mientras leo algo de Poe, por eso siento que lo amo mucho, al igual que toda la historia.

Alright, this short-story is quite..special. It is quite funny, the Angel was kinda cool, but overall it was a bit disturbing. It feels like a dream, in the surrealistic dream way. (Suddenly the main character is hanging underneath a balloon...don't know how he got there though.)

First story I read by E.A. Poe (it starts with an A *blush*), wondering about the rest of his work now.

Overall certainly amusing.
