Summary: The Cask of Amontillado review
Comment: Edgar Allan Poe is probably best known for scary mysterious stories. The Cask of Amontillado is a perfect example of Poe's bizarre and peculiar style.

Poe's unusual writing style is not typical of most 19th century writers. Poe writes about death as if he was a psycho, obsessed with murder. This technique works because the reader is continuously trying to find out what happens on the next page.

In The cask of Amontillado Poe peculiar writing is at his best. The main character holds a revengeful grudge for his friend Fortunato. He takes him to taste a fine sherry, but he really buries Fortunato alive. The main character burring Fortunato is alive in a stone crypt. There is suspense throughout the whole story, the reader is always thinking about what is going to happen next.

Most of Poe's works are suspenseful, well written and exciting. The Cask of Amontillado will invite the reader into Poe's bizarre and peculiar imagination.

Comment: ...but still a good read! I've always liked the works of Poe. This book was a little hard to follow and the names were a bit long but I enjoyed it. If you have any interest in Poe, you should read this book!
