Vraždy v ulici Morgue a jiné povídky by Edgar Allan Poe

chloeimogen's review against another edition

1.0

I'm just not the Edgar Allan Poe type of person, I guess, but to me these stories didn't seem to have much substance (except for the Dupin ones): they're mostly all just set-up for a shocking revelation and lacking much of a plot. At least that's how I feel about them.

Minha experiência com Poe era bem pouca. Sim, pois é. Acho que consertei isso... um pouco. E que bom que consertei! Gostei bastante do livro, de verdade. Só não leva cinco estrelas por causa do último conto, o conto-título/maior conto do livro, que achei um saco, mas o problema pode ser inteiramente meu (não costumo gostar tanto de histórias de investigação e detetives e afins

Spoiler

e o Dupin não cala a boca, pelo amor de deus

).

I have to be honest and say that I went to great lengths in order to find audiobooks of each individual tale to listen to (since I couldn't find an audiobook version of this exact collection). I read a couple, some I read along as I listened to the audiobook, but mostly I just listened, which probably made me miss a whole lot of the plots. But I couldn't help it. I feel as if Poe's writing style isn't for me unless I sit down and really concentrate, which I haven't had the time to do. But let's be real. Poe is an author I'll probably return to, hopefully to read more properly when I'm older. But for now this is how it is. I enjoyed what I understood, and can see why he's very loved. Hopefully I can love him too one day.
