Second read: I like it even better now as an English Literature student.


Wow. I never thought I could find this enjoyable but here I am, giving this four stars. Four because some parts were really boring. But most of the time... I don't know. Again, I knew how this was going to end but nevertheless I was startled.

didn't find it much different from the unannotated version, except the introduction of the author and the book, which provided great context.

“When they entered, they found hanging upon the wall a splendid portrait of their master as they had last seen him, in all the wonder of his exquisite youth and beauty. Lying on the floor was a dead man, in evening dress, with a knife in his heart. He was withered, wrinkled, and loathsome of visage. It was not till they had examined the rings that they recognized who it was.”
