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

By	Betsy Gallup (Lenexa, KS United States) - See all my reviews

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

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Turgid and dull, January 16, 1998

By	[e-mail] "rte6vm" (Birmingham, UK) - See all my reviews

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.
