Gina’s Reviews > The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe > Status Update

I've read 20 stories so far, and I can say I've enjoyed them all, but "The Man That Was Used Up" was the first one I didn't like. The ending was good, but ... no, it wasn't a good story for me.

By the way, the next story is "The Fall of the House of Usher". I'm really looking forward to it!

»Men were talking. Women were screaming. Children were choking. Pigs were whistling. Carts they rattled. Bulls they bellowed. Cows they lowed. Horses they neighed. Cats they caterwauled. Dogs they danced. Danced! Could it then be possible? Danced! Alas, tought I, my dancing days are over!«

Oh my god! I had to laugh so hard! 😂

"During the brightest days of her unparalleled beauty, most surely I had never loved her. In the strange anomaly of my existence, feelings with me, had never been of the heart, and my passions always were of the mind."

„The Unparalleled Adventure of One Hans Pfaall“ was very entertaining and I thought it was going to be a five-star film the whole time, but unfortunately the ending wasn't to my taste. Therefore only ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"In the meantime, looking towards the cat, who was again snugly stowed away upon my me, I discovered, to my infinite surprise, that she had taken the opportunity of my indisposition to bring into light a litter of three little kittens. This was an addition to the number of passengers on my part altogether unexpected; but I was pleased at the occurrence."

That was a little bit crazy. 😂

In the current short story, a man wants to reach the moon ... with a balloon. It's amusing and I'm a little scared.
