Book Reviews of Great American Stories: Ten Unabridged Classics
Book Review: not recommended
Summary: 2 Stars
Although the short tales are written using a well crafted English they do not say anything. English is my second language and I was hoping to learn more about classic american literature. I was disappointed because there is not a single good story in all the classics. It's just well detailed descriptions of mundane tales. For example mark twain talks about a tax guy who moved to a new town and end up auditing the narrator, or Jack London going on and on about a guy trying to build a fire in a freezing cold area. If you are looking for highly predictable stories with no surprises and complex English you will like it. On the other hand if you want to hear a very good story with lots of twists or unfolding elements, none of them will have it.
