"O Henry is for the intelligent listener"
If you could sum up O. Henry Short Stories, Vol. 2 in three words, what would they be?Entertaining, educational, witty.
Who was your favorite character and why?The author because he challenges his listener with classic phrasing and descriptions of humanity that elevate and entertain.
Which scene was your favorite?When the waitress who couldn't tolerate men's eating habits finally realized what hunger was. The metaphor was marvelous.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?O Henry routinely makes me laugh. His tongue is so far inside his cheek you'd have to be deaf to miss it.
Any additional comments?The narrator is marvelous. I have sought Bob Thomley in other works just to hear his soothing voice. Perfect choice for O. Henry.

"Another great short story collection; great price"
It is hard to beat the price for this excellent collection of short stories. O Henry is one of the innovators of the genre and most of his stories hold up. These stories are great for people who want a short story that clearly follows the classic narrative structure of begining, middle, and end. I have read numerous short story collection reviews that complain about how the stories JUST END (I kind of disagree with this argument but that is splitting heirs). But if you want short fiction that has a clear structure (but still is innovative and exciting) with humour, heart (and captures his era) I reccomend O. Henry. The narration is also good. One of the best buys on Audible.
