Query: I wrote better in Middle School!

Edward Gorey this is not! I agree with a previous review that the illustrations are good, but they do not make this book worthwhile. The stories are poor, and the weak attempts at rhyming in the poems would make even a 4th grade teacher cringe! I am just a lay poet, but I would be ashamed to have others view such weak attempts. The sad thing is that most of these stories (poems) could have been so much better, content and rhyme-wise with little effort. While reading this book, I felt like an editor, and I couldn't help but want to rewrite most of them. Many could have been improved by anyone without any literary skill. I hate to say it, but this book was a big disappointment. There are many better creepy/morbid story/poem books to be had. Edward Gorey can't be beat for one! Angus Oblong is pretty good too.
