"Loved it. Kind of wish I had read it in school so I could discuss some of the more poignant lines. I found myself reading it aloud so I could really get the rhythm of the song going. "

    " i spent a whole school year reading aloud to my kids from this book. many lovely poems, although i skipped the section on Poe. much of his work feels too dark and hopeless to me. "

    " Some of the language & imagery is beautiful, but in general I find Longfellow a bit hard to swallow. I consider this epic poem to be a wannabe Iliad. "

    " A wonderful tale that spans generations and covers lands further than the eye can see. A sometimes repetitive but beautiful read. But be warned, this is extended poetry and can be tricky to swallow. "

    " I don't like this book at all. I had to read it for school and first of all, I don't like being forced to read anything. Second, there are big words, too many hard names to remember, and it is just plain confusing. "
