Feels weird to rate a single poem but it was very beautiful and I loved the illustrations.

This is a wonderfully constructed tale of terror on the high seas! It's a pretty long for a poem, but it did not take me long to read. I really liked the use of rhythm and rhyme most, I found it engrossed me more in the poem.

This book has been in my wishlist for two years, since a dear friend of mine recommended it because she loved it very much. When I saw a beautiful second hand edition of it, I thought that I couldn’t leave it in the bookshop!
It took me an evening to read it and I loved it just like my friend did.

I really enjoy books (such as The Old Man and the Sea) where Nature and its sublimity become characters who interacts with mankind.

This was an interesting poetry reading material. I usually don't read poetry so bear in mind that I left my confort zone.

Written in archaic english I felt at times a bit lost but my 1912 edition was pretty good with information on the sides and some 10 pages of info about the writer and poem. Quite good.

As I read this poem, in my mind I was humming the tune from the Rime of Ancient Mariner song by Iron Maiden. Very Good.

Recommend but a version with sidenotes if you don't control archaic english.
