Puzzling,
By
This review is from: The Complete Poetical Works (100+) of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (Kindle Edition)
I orderd this download and it was done immediately. However, when I tried to open it the preface was readable as normal but the poems themselves I could not open. each one had AAAAAA with an umlaut in front of the title so I ordered another but that too did the same. I then contacted Amazon to explain and they immediately sent an email and deleted both. No problem with their reply at all. Shame as I really wanted Longfellow but I do wonder if it was in a format that Kindle could not read ?

The poems are great...but why such tiny print?,
By Jeffery K. Matheus - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Complete Poems (Hardcover)
As a lover of great rhyme poetry, and in particular, a fan of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poetry - I was glad to finally find that a "Complete Works" volume was available. If (like me) you are a lover of Longfellow's classy and distinctive verse style, then of course there is no faulting the actual content of this book - from his most famous works to his most obscure..it's all here! Another fine feature of this book is the brief introductions that give historical and/or background information as to what/where/who inspired Longfellow to write a particular poem (although these intros are not given for every poem in the book, but mainly for the more critically-renowned & famous ones). However, this book certainly CAN be faulted for its extremely small, lightly colored, and almost eye-damaging print!!! I was surprized to open a harcover book of this size (not to mention price!) and find such a tiny, substandard printing style - and to make matters even worse, the small print is divided into narrow columns (like most modern Bibles, or newspapers), with two columns on each page and lots of blank space on either side! My advise? Buy this book ONLY if you are a hardcore Longfellow enthusiast who is looking for the more obscure works - if you are simply looking for a sampling of his best-loved poems, [...] sells plenty of other fine Logfellow collections that are much more easy on the eyes! My rating? Five stars for Longfellow's thoughtful and imaginative work with rhyme, rhythm, and imagery - but only 2 stars for this publisher's slipshod reprinting!

COMPLETE Satisfaction!,
By Amy E. Santos "High-Maintenance" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Poetry: Complete Poetical Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, improved 9/7/2010 (Kindle Edition)
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow is known as one of America's best known and best loved poets of all time. The Complete Poetical Works, covers I believe, everything ever writteb by this exquisite poet.
You will find your most treasured and well-loved favorites, as well as the most obscure findings in this brilliant collection. This is a "must-have" for all fans of Longfellow and his works. It'(mostly)lyric style poetry with a rhyming rhythm that is sure to bring memories back to long-time followers of Longfellow and new poetry lovers as well. He writes with an easy to understand method and obvious themes, these poems come back to me just as easy as some of my favorite mother goose stories, childhood songs, and rhymes. I do want to point out that I bought this tome on Kindle, and the print in this collection of poems shows up perfectly formatted and just the right size (not small or tiny) without any adjustment to the font. There are no complaints regarding how these works show up on the kindle whatsoever, so if you are a kindle owner and a poetry owner, this is a solid buy at just .99. Actually, it's an amazing value. I can honestly, without reserve, recommend this book to all who love Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, American Poetry and Poets. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Unable to Navigate,
By India R. Griffin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: THE COMPLETE POETICAL WORKS OF HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW (Kindle Edition)
I am new to Kindle and this is one of the first books I purchased. I was immediately disappointed when I turned on the Kindle and navigated to the table of contents. I was looking forward to searching, by poem, from the contents tables. After an hour of hopelessly navigating and attempting to use the search function I gave up and put the book into my archive. I suppose this review is more critical of the type of medium used than of the works themselves. However I believe it is very relevant to those that are contemplating the purchase of this book for Kindle. I made the decision to give a one star rating because the book is useless if it can't be navigated.
