I liked this story very much, it's interesting and fascinating. Especially in the beginning I missed a list of the "dramatis personae" because I was going back so much to look up who was who.

I found that book frustrating because I was so exited to read and the themes it was discussing are so important especially at the moment. But it was written very badly the story didn't grab me at all, and what I think was supposed to be the romance plotline(s) seemed rushed and unrealistic with no believable emotions.

This star rating should be seen with a grain of salt, because its a good children's book but of course it's not an amazing in the great scheme of things.

I liked it the tell tale heart is definitely my favourite from Edgar Allan Poe. But there are more stories in the book like the fall of the house of Usher and the cask of amontillado. The first one I also liked the second one I didn't.

I liked the book but that doesn't mean it's a good book, I would recommend it as a slump breaker because it's very easy to read.
When I described the plot to my mum she said it sounds like grand opera
