A Master of the Short Story at his Peak

This is a terrific collection of O. Henry short stories. It is masterful and interesting.

Bob Thomley does a brilliant job of narrating.

History repeats itself

Not much was revealed about the most recent five wars than what was reported in the news.

Get your notepad ready

How could the performance have been better?

Chapters are the stories - Name the chapters the name of the stories - not Chapter 1, Chapter 2 - etc. -- DUH --

Did O. Henry: Complete Short Stories Collection inspire you to do anything?

Yes - be very careful when ordering from Amazon, master misleaders of marketing

Any additional comments?

Would not have purchased if I knew it was set up this way - O. Henry is wonderful - The presentation and no-naming is a deal killer - not recommended.

Great stories told very well

Some say O Henry is corny or formulaic. Those folks can jump in a lake. I love these stories and they are read by a very talented voice artist.

requires concentration

Would you try another book from O. Henry and William Sydney Porter and/or Bob Thomley?

Probably not.. the verbage used in the time this book was written is very different from today. Much concentration is required to get the full meaning of the story. This is a difficult title to listen to while driving.
