I don't know why people are hating on this great collection of rewritten O. Henry's short stories. I know this is not his original text, but O. Henry's spirit is still in there, in those great tales that really capture the way humans act in and react to love, loss and despair. O. Henry never ceased to amaze me. How insightful he was in terms of understanding humans' emotions and thinking! Some stories really shocked me with their plot twists and revelations that I never expected ha ha ha :))

3/5

Lo empecé a leer para mejorar mi inglés y la verdad que me terminó gustando. Es todo bastante simple, pero es bonito, y a pesar de que todo el amor romántico es súper fantasioso y las mujeres son todas medias pavotas, no es espantosamente machista, cosa que esperaba un poco por ser tan viejo el libro, por lo que, para practicar inglés, super recomendable.
"The last leaf" fue mi favorito, el final fue tan tierno y triste. Pero también me gustó "The things we do for love".
