Umas melhores, outras piores ...
Tendo em vista puramente os textos, minha principal crítica é à tradução que torna a leitura truncada em diversos momentos. Há de se levar em consideração que é uma edição com um preço consideravelmente acessível ( à época em que foi escrita essa resenha: 10 reais). Cá entre nós, achei o conto O Corvo em si, superestimado.

Good

4*

I never read poetry. It's not something that's ever truly interested me if I'm honest but I had to read this one no matter what and though the writing felt odd, to me, I know it's not because this is dating and that's usually how poetry works anyway.

The Raven is more than a classic and it is a very good one. It's going to take a few reads before I truly understand all of it but I couldn't rate it any other stars because it is good. It's just me and my understanding of the text.

I’ve been a big fan of Poe’s works and writing style since high school, so I knew going into reading The Raven for the first time in years that I would still enjoy it.

Read during school.

I absolutely hate this book. Pointless. Way toooooo repetitive. Plot was pointless. Do not read this book. It was more boring and confusing than reading a school textbook.

Review haiku:

Fears that torment us,
Ghosts whispering in the dark.
The unquiet mind.
