Amazing writer, great deal,
By
This review is from: The Open Boat and Other Stories (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
This is short but packed with excellent short stories by Crane. I had to buy this for an english class but I've read it twice since then just because its so good. The first story takes place in Brooklyn and it seems very authentic even today. This is one of my favorite authors and I guess there's a reason they have you read him in school - to get you into reading!

This review is from: The Open Boat and Other Stories (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
Crane has a delightfully light style of writing that can take the deepest and most sorrowful of situations, and somehow bring them light. His, "Maggie: A Girl of the Streets," is a wonderful depiction of life for a 19th century girl in New York. "The Open Boat" puts you on the ship; you can naturally feel the narration and flow with him as he crashes against the waves. A wonderful read for any interested in American or New York literature.

Amazing story TERRIBLE digital copy,

This review is from: The Open Boat and Other Stories (Kindle Edition)
I love Stephen Crane and I love my Kindle, however... the digital copy of this book is riddled with typos, missing paragraphs, and even missing pages. I recommend reading the story, or perhaps even buying the phsyical book. But stay away from this digital copy.
