A sound of thunder by Ray Bradbury was not at all what i had expected after reading this story. I had expected some type of old spooky tale about a wise old man. What I liked most about the story is that it was such a shocking ending and wasn't so predictable. There was not a dull moment in the story so  there wasn't anything not too like. I would recommend this book to a friend because it pulls you into a different type of writing instead of the urban that we are used to reading.

The tell-tale heart by Edgar Allan Poe  was a unique short story because it leaves the reader with so many questions. My expectations before reading the short story was for to just get a basic background of who Edgar was as a author. The best part of the story to me was intensity and curiosity the narrator leaves you with after reading it. The least that I liked about the book was the transition of the two different parts that the story was broken up into only because it was a bit confusing for a first time reader. Most of my friends I would not recommend the story to only because i know where their interest are in books and this would not really be on their top three.
