Three short stories, three ok's.
A collection with three extremely short stories by Somerset Maugham. Consider the Good, avoid the Meh.
The Good :
★★★☆☆ ”The Taipan” [3.5]
The Meh :
★★☆☆☆ “Footprints in the Jungle” [2.5]
★★☆☆☆ ”Giulia Lazzari” [2.5]
I cannot say any of them is memorable, maybe "The Taipan". Still, memorable doesn't necessarily mean great.
-----------------------------------------------
PERSONAL NOTE : I'm sure I've read this sometime before during English classes in Primary School.
[1995] [64p] [Collection] [Not Recommendable]

Tres cuentos cortas, tres ok.
Una colección con tres extremadamente cortos cuentos por Somerset Maugham. Considerar lo Bueno, evitar lo Meh.
Lo Bueno :
★★★☆☆ ”El Taipan” [3.5]
Lo Meh :
★★☆☆☆ “Huellas en la Jungla” [2.5]
★★☆☆☆ ”Giulia Lazzari” [2.5]
No puedo decir que ninguno sea memorable, tal vez ”El Taipan". Igual, memorable no necesariamente significa genial.
-----------------------------------------------
NOTA PERSONAL : Estoy seguro que alguna vez leí esto antes durante clases de Inglés en la Primaria.
[1995] [64p] [Colección] [No Recomendable]

Lo super recomiendo si estas empezando a leer en inglés! Por alguna razón los policiales o el misterio a mi se me hacen mucho más fáciles de entender. Me gustó mucho ✨️
