Maybe this review would be bigger than the story itself. a simple idea and an unbelievable story. the story of our evil deeds hauting us. it is scary , but true. the most amazing thing in this story is Edgar Poe himself; his greatest use of the language, his realistic description of anger. he made me laugh many times , though it this short story is not intended to do that, because of his clever use of the vocabulary. it is a must read book. Dont think of missing it.
It was the best story we have ever read

It was the best story we have ever read because it was very scary.The part which we liked best was the ending, when the eye was burning.We felt sorry about the cat when the man cut out its eye.We didn't like the man because he was mean like a drunk.
Feel it by your self

The "Black Cat" was one of the best stories I have ever read

The Black Cat is a great short story. One of the best I have ever read. The story was scary, exciting and full of amazing things. I got some chills down my back, and I dont get scared that easily. My favorite part was when he took his anger out on his so called favorite pet. It was in such good detail and so exciting. Also the end was really good. The way the cat got trappped in the wall and his secret was found out. All because he was careless and allowed the cat to climb in there with out knowing. It was just a great story all together. If you loike Edgar Allen Poe you should read this, it's one of his best!
This is a book about two friends turning against each other.

I think "The Black Cat" by Edger Allan Poe is an excellent short story. This is a must read by Edger Allan Poe, if you like short storys that keep you on the edge of your seat, with a lot of suspence and horror. I like the way Poe used two best friends to turn on each other. I think that is what made this short story good.
