Title: Disturbing and Engrossing
Review: "Deep into thatdarkness peering,long I stood therewondering, fearingDoubting, dreamingdreams no mortalever dared to dream before...""The Raven" is about loss of a loved one and will stick with you, maybe even haunt your dreams for a few nights. I picked up the Kindle version for free and I was instantly reminded why this is one of my favorite poems. (There is a long preface before it, which I found interesting. But if you just want to read the poem, you can use the index and click on "The Poem.") The prose sings like a bird, like its name, the Raven, which only says one word, "Nevermore." The protagonist on whom the Raven spies loses his grip on reality; he is grief-stricken over the loss of his beloved Lenore."But the Raven, sittinglonely on the placid bust,spoke onlyThat one word, as if hissoul in that one word hedid outpour.Nothing further then heuttered--not a feather thenhe fluttered--Till I scarcely more thanmuttered, "Other friends have flown before--On the morrow he will leaveme, as my hopes haveflown before."Then the bird said, "Nevermore."The bottom line: "The Raven" is a quick, rythmic, brilliant, disturbing, engrossing poem.-Raeden Zen

Title: Intro Much????
Review: A perfect and flawless, as well as timeless piece of literature, The Raven has inspired generations and for good reason. It is a classic and wonderfully flawless piece of work. It is quite possibly the greatest and most memorable work of fiction ever written. The content is there and displayed very well. There are two versions of it . . . the normal page-by-page read, as well as an interesting line-by-line read which I like. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of five is the overly-long and drawn out windbag of an introduction. An intro is fine, but after awhile I just kept thinking 'Lets get to the story. That's why I am here.' Honestly, the introduction bored me to tears. It wasn't even interesting. It reminded me of that monotone, droning high school teacher who won't shut the hell up and get on with the lesson. Nothing against an intro. Heck, I would have done one too, but this one was way too long and self-indulgent on the writer's part. Shame. It's not about you, man. Studying a magnificent and classic work of fiction is fine, but I didn't download a textbook. No need to make it one.

Title: Nevermore!!
Review: What can you say about this poem that hasn't already been said? I am writing this on Halloween Eve....just realized that! How fitting. I love the flow of this poem. When I read it I always have the voice of Christopher Walken in my head narrating it. The poem starts out slowly, and innocent enough, then builds to a climax. I actually took a class in college on Horror and Terror in Literature and we had to read/analyze this. I keep on trying to memorize it so that I can recite it at camping trips around the campfire to the grandkids, hehe.

Title: Classis
Review: Always a classic, love the notes at the beginning and the break up of the verses. Good add since some Poe books do not contain the raven.
