The Poe Shadow by Matthew Pearl

2.0

I read Dante's Club a few years back and absolutely loved it so I immediately bought a copy of The Poe Shadow when it came out. I started reading the book with high hopes, but right off the bat, the story didn't pull me in. I tried finding something to like, since I loved Pearl's previous book, but I just couldn't. I finished the book just for the sake of finishing it, but I found it dragging and utterly uninspired.
