I did like most of the stories as they were witty, & wonderful. Despite this though, I couldn't really read ALL of the stories, as they were rather difficult to read.
I loved O henry's style of writing when I read his story ‘The gift of magi' for the first time in my 11th standard English book.
I wanted to explore more stories by him after that, so I brought this collection.
It was an amazing collection of short stories that gave a glimpse of the author's expertise in crafting elegant short stories with great characters, entrancing narrative, and beautiful irony.
The endings are always best. I loved the twists in the end.
‘After Twenty Years, ' 'The purple Dress, ' 'The Green Door, ' and 'The last leaf' are my favorite stories.
Great collection of short stories that explore human nature and revolve around different themes of love, sacrifice, passion, and life.
Đó giờ chỉ biết O.Henry qua truyện ngắn "Chiếc lá cuối cùng", nay đọc được tuyển tập truyện ngắn của ông thì thật sự phải công nhận ông viết truyện ngắn rất hay, câu chữ lôi cuốn và dẫn truyện rất duyên. Và hơn nữa ông còn là ông hoàng tổ lái, 90% truyện của ông toàn có plot twist cuối truyện.
the stories are just as varied and interesting! although i am not done with all the 100 but the few i have read were very good and engaging! this green coloured pretty book (a gift from my dad on new year; years ago) has been stupidly missed by me all these years!
the prints are not hard on the eyes and the quick stories are perfect for those who enjoy short stories,in general. the writing can get difficult and the words used in some stories are quite straining but if you overcome that part,you'll be able to maintain a good flow.
