"i have heard better performances"
Would you consider the audio edition of The Raven to be better than the print version?depending on the performance of it there is one i sadly bought on itunes that you have....but is a better performance than this one. I did like some of the history of Poe given in this one.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Raven?His descent into madness
What three words best describe Bill Mills’s performance?straight forward
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?Yes...you have to sit through it, it's climax is so awesome!!
Any additional comments?The Raven should be considered if not the greatest poem, one of them. How Poe can access the dread we have of the death of a love one and lay it so plain...it is simply terrifying and beautiful at the same time

"Great reading, but the Intro was unneeded"
An excellent reading of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven:" Dramatic, well presented, appropriate atmosphere and Bill Mills' characterization is great!
I almost felt compelled to dock one star from the rating because of the long and, in my opinion, unnecessary bio of the author that takes up the first third of the recording. A short opening bio might have been useful (maybe 2 minutes), but this went on for way too long.
So, 5 stars for the Raven, but consider skipping the intro.0 of 0 people found this review helpful
