This collection of 100 of O Henry's finest stories is a showcase for the sheer variety of one of America's best and best-loved short story writers The variety of the stories is amazing; O Henry is as at home describing life south of the Rio Grande as he is chronicling the activities and concerns of 'the four million' ordinary citizens who inhabited turn-of-the-century New York.

Comical, sad, hysterically funny, moving, charismatic, and often sarcastic, O.Henry's use of words is of the master. I literally lived through all of my emotions while reading this book. Best of all, if you are a busy

Having reached page 350, Ive had enough and am giving up. It isnt that O. Henry is a bad writer, that the stories arent well crafted, or that I object to long books in principle. This collection is simply too lengthy. One hundred short stories absolutely bury the reader. It is very difficult to make it through a book of more than 700 pages with no continuity, only a series of fragments. I am not generally a fan of short stories anyway, with the huge exception of those by Borges. I was given this

I've read enough of these to know that they are darn good. Well written and frequently with a surprise ending.
