The Rime of the Ancient Mariner Audiobook

" A great poem, but the artwork by Dore is what makes this excellent. "

" It was neat to see where many of the pirate and seafaring movies/stories come from. This poem was strange, but very entertaining and with a good lesson. "

" Good notes, plus the Gustave Dore illustrations, but they're printed a bit small. "

" Dore's illustrations are beyond phenomenal. This is definitely a book worth buying for your own library. "

" I guess I'm getting in my sea books this year! I like the (melo?)drama in the poem and the imagery and language. I also liked the kind of shanty rhythm of the poem too. "

" letto in lingua originale ha tutta un'altra bellezza... "

" A poem? Easy read! ^^ Loved it! "

" Stunning! I read this at school but had completely forgotten its power! "

" Very well written and creepy, but in a subtle way that really gets you. "

" Not the Odyssey "

" Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint. "

" This is the first time I have read this poem. I can see why it is a classic. "

" Absolutely loved this book! Coleridge is one of my favorite authors and anything from the Romantic era in Britain is bound to be wonderful and Rime of the Ancient Mariner certainly fits the bill! "

" Classic poem. We read it like 5 times in Highschool senior english. "

" a funny thing happened on the way to the wedding... "

" I love gothic poems :) And the Rime of the Ancient Mariner is the best I ever read as far as this genre is concerned. "

" Uma obra prima da poesia mundial... "

" I felt the coldness while I was reading it. "

" Love this poem. Memorized a lot of it in high school and still remember it perfectly. "

" Actually read this about a month or two ago in school, just forgot to rate it until now. Boring to read, but the story is so crazy, it makes for some hilarious disscussion! Reminds me of Alice in Wonderland-nothing makes sense. Colderidge was clearly on drugs. "

" My god, the pictures "

" I learned some new words! Well, new old words. "

" Long poem about a man at sea. The imagery is fantastic. "

" My favorite line from Coleridge: "Day after day, day after day/ We stuck nor breath nor motion/ As idle as a painted ship/ Upon a painted ocean" "

" An albatross around my neck :) "

" Welll I was curious to read this after listening to the song by Iron Maiden. it's a good read. "

" when i was 13, my year 9 english teacher, mr lopez, had me rewrite this entire poem. i made it about a bus journey to school. i can't remember what took the place of the albatross. it was obviously riveting. "

" Wordsworth = namby-pamby, insipid, pompous, daffodil-snorter. Coleridge rocks, though he did have a substance abuse problem. "

" Quite an Intersting Poem. Colderige is definetly inspired by MacBeth (Shakespeare) as there are quotes similar to that. Very Good poem to read though (: "

" The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is an all time favorite. "

" I read this awhile ago... really good story. I'd actually like to re-read it now that I'm a bit older! "

" So I read this for one of my British Lit classes and I had to read it a few times over to really get everything because the first time I read it I was half asleep. Each time I read it the more I liked it. It has a good theme to value each living creature. "

" Read The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and then listen to the Iron Maiden version of it! "

" "Water Water everywhere and not a drop to drink..." So many memorable lines accompany this story of a crew lost at sea that turn to desperate measures after one member shoots an albatross. Read on!"As Idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean..." "

" an all time classic every educated person should read "
