4.0 out of 5 stars Untitled, June 9, 2000
This is definitely a quick but good read. If I begin to go into detail, it will ruin it for you; however, it is about one Miss Emily Grierson, who is from a respectable family of which she is the sole remaining descendent. She remains shrouded in a cloud of private mystery with only the occasional entry or departure of her black servant to provide her with the basic necessites from the outside world. After a small accumulation of seemingly unconnected incidents, the story ends on a horrifying and ghastly note, which manages to leave the reader confident that he knows what the ending means, but at the same time is left hanging uncertainly. I would also like to strongly recommend _The Sound and the Fury_ to anyone who has enjoyed this or any of Faulkner's works.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, January 13, 2010
I was told that A Rose for Emily was one of Faulkner's best work in a gothic story. Unfortunately, it didn't do that much for me. I didn't hate it but I didn't like it either. It just fell flat and I was bored all the way through. In an article I read they compared his work to Edgar Allen Poe how dear they). If you are looking for a quick read in the gothic area A rose for Emily is definitely not it. Check out Edagar Allen Poe's "A tell-tale heart" or " The cask of amontillado"

this book is about a very good short story on the changes of the south during a very representative period!
