This is Poe's only novel. I am really glad he didn't go into novel writing, to be honest. This thing was horrid. It was boring 95% of the time. The 5% that wasn't boring was when they ship of corpses came about, and of course the little bit about cannibalism. What can I say? When I read Poe, I want gothic and I want to be freaked out. He bored me with all the sailing bits, and with the birds. Gosh. I nearly tore my hair out trying to read this. I think this would have been better had it been broken into short stories. It would have flowed somewhat better.
I'm never getting the time I spent on this novel back. Damn you, Poe. Damn you. (Just kidding).
