3.0 out of 5 stars My First Disappointing Experience with Zelazny, October 30, 2001

By

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brain candy for Poe and Zelazny fans, June 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Black Throne (Paperback)

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.

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.
