1. Neutral opinion for Overall impression
This site is devoted to such an original and unexpected question as Poe''s humor. It was quite interesting to read about it. Also there''s very, very detailed biography, bibliography and links.

2. Positive opinion for Overall impression
Now this is odd. I never really thought of Poe as humorous. I like unusual sites, and this one has obviously taken a different look at Poe.

3. Positive opinion for Overall impression
I love the thorough build-up and explanation of how humor can be found in Poe's writings. Since he is one of my favorites, I can't wait to get into this site in deep detail. It has great promise.

4. Positive opinion for Overall impression
An accessible but scholarly look at Poe's use of humor and satire throughout his work. It deals with historical, critical and psychological perspectives. A good read for anyone who thinks of Poe primarily in terms of horror.
