The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Very Gothic. Very Poe. Lots of violence, claustrophobic horror, creepiness. Not enough whales. "

" This might be the worst novel by a legendary author ever published. Seriously, it's terrible. There is no continuity throughout the novel. Characters appear and disappear at will. It switches between first person narrative and diary style travelogue a couple times, with no explanation. However, the concept of whiteness and blackness, as well as the racist overtones throughout this novel are fascinating and don't really come out in any of Poe's short stories. Totally worth the read, even if it's only to understand the commentary in "Pym." "

" weird. very weird. and like 3 separate stories in one. but i'm really glad that i finally got around to reading it. "

" Flawed in several ways. Poe was wise to stick with poetry and short stories as his only novel is truly not up to his usual standards. "

" I really liked this in high school and did a book report about it "

" It tells some cool adventures thought up by Poe around 1838 "

" I thought it would be as good as the tales, but it wasn't. "

" Poe's only novel-length story. For good reason. "

" A hillarious spoof on Moby Dick. The main character experiences a plethora of mishaps (which really should cause absolute death of the character) but somehow Pym always manages to "straighten his tie" and head to the captain's table for dinner. "

" Long and tiresome. "

" Did H.P. Lovecraft riff on some of the ideas and scenes in this story? Hmmm. "

" set on a fishing port in north east america about. Arthur hides on a whaling ship adn various adventures befall him. the soty starts of as an adventure story but then it becomes bizarre and references the "hollow earth" theory which modern science has since refuted. quiky book witha bizarre ending. "

" I loved the detail. It seems like Edgar Allan Poe cannot resist talking about being buried alive in any book that he writes. It's classic Poe, but with a spirit of adventure that I have not previously known in his writing. Great stuff. "

" Eww, eww, eww! "

" Read book for a class "

" "Pym whose failures entice instead of repel. Pym that flows and ignites and Pym that becomes so entrenched it stagnates for hundreds of words at a time. A book that at times makes no sense, gets wrong both history and science..." - mat johnson "

" I love Edgar Allan Poe that's why I'm giving his only novel 4 stars. If it was anyone else it would only be 3 but I'm prejudiced! "

" ( Aventuras Extraordinárias de Gordon Pym ) "

" I love Poe. But his only novel is not up to his standards. It was ridiculous, boring, and seemed pointless. "

" This story was pretty amazing. I'm pretty positive that the writers of Lost were reading this when they created that show. For me, I found there to be a connection between Pym and Dr. Faustus with his overwhelming desire to sail and have an adventure. More to come later. "

" It tells some cool adventures thought up by Poe around 1838 "

" La seule histoire du monde Qui commence mal, continue mal et fini très mal.c'est un régal pour qui aime les bonnes histoires de bateaux, de naufrages et d'aventures. "
