This review is from: The Trimmed Lamp, and other Stories of the Four Million (Kindle Edition)
While O. Henry's stories were most certainly not written recently, they are consistently well written; sometimes comical, sumetimes sad, and many times absolutely wonderful. Henry uses powerful language, themes speaking of the social classes in New York during this era, and often vivid imagery. While his introductions may seem quite repetitive, each story is unique and causes one to contemplate sometimes weighty issues. The setting of the early 1900's New York provides an interesting backdrop for the stories. Overall, O. Henry's work is fascinating and provides quick relief from stresses in everyday life, and it certainly helps that this book is free for Kindle.
