- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Personally I enjoy Dupin. I see without any doubt that Conan Doyle was influenced by Poe. Though I have to say that even if Poe had carried on with Dupin for a full series, unless he took the time to develop the friendship between Dupin his companion, Sherlock still would have been ore palatable to the public in general. Poe has a very "artistic pen" that most people would have and still would need a dictionary to understand.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Like its predecessor Murders in the Rue Morgue, this is a well thought through analysis and another clear precursor of Sherlock Holmes. However, it cannot be recommended as a story, as there is no real plot as such; rather it is simply a slightly overlong exercise in logical thinking and reasoning. It is based on a true case in America.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Fails to live up to Murders in the Rue Morgue.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Read this as part of my BA in English.With Poe's reputation, I felt disappointed with this, though parts did impress me. The concept is clever, but too much rambling prose prevented me from really liking this.
