Brain candy for Poe and Zelazny fans
An enjoyable fancy playing on an explanation for Poe's behavior and his muses. This is not one of Zelazny's 10 best, but definitely worth a read.

My First Disappointing Experience with Zelazny
This is by far the worst book I have read that was written by Zelazny. The story goes on and on without really getting anywhere and did little to hold my interest. The one redeeming aspect of this book and probably the only reason I finished it was the use of Edgar Allen Poe as one of the characters.

My First Disappointing Experience with Zelazny,
By Betsy Gallup (Lenexa, KS United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Throne (Paperback)
This is by far the worst book I have read that was written by Zelazny. The story goes on and on without really getting anywhere and did little to hold my interest. The one redeeming aspect of this book and probably the only reason I finished it was the use of Edgar Allen Poe as one of the characters. Zelazny attempted to portray the true misery of Poe within the telling of this fictional story. The portrayal is good unfortunately the story itself does not live up to my expectations.

This review is from: The Black Throne (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book and its creative blending of the works of Poe. Not ground-breaking in any way, but fans of Poe would definitely enjoy seeing the his persona brought to life in such an interesting manner.

Turgid and dull,
By rte6vm@hotmail.com (birmingham, uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Throne (Paperback)
This is the only one of Zelazny's books I have not found brilliant. I just could not get going with it, it seems to be an attempt to recall the work of Edgar Allan Poe. The action seems slow and Victorian. I have read good Victorian era stuff but this ain't it.
