review 1: The Tell Tale Heart is a thrilling book that is sure to keep you on your toes. When the narrator was talking about killing an old man just because of his ''evil eye'' I thought this guy was insane. During the killing of the old man I felt like I was right in the room with him.The narrator was so crazed that after he killed the old man he hid him under the floor boards. After he killed the old man as he heard the beating of his heart it was only in his mind. I felt like I could feel the pulse of his heart in my throat. I defiantly would recommend everyone to read this book.
review 2: This is a very good adaptation of the story into graphic form, but I'm not sure that the publisher has a good idea of the intended audience. They suggest a reading level as low as 3
... morerd grade, with an interest level of 5th grade. The back part of the book is formatted like their other graphic novels for children, with glossary and discussion questions, but they seem out of place in this instance.The difficulty is that it's a story about a murder committed by a rather unhinged killer, both portrayed quite successfully by a talented artist. I would hesitate to hand this to anyone still in elementary school.Still, this would be a good introduction to Poe for teens or adults. Dennis Calero did a great job with the moody and grim artwork. less
