This review is from: The Voice of the City: Further Stories of the Four Million (Kindle Edition)
In The Voice of the City, O. Henry uses excellently written short stories and high vocabulary to convey a sense on New York c. 1900. In this collection, he has created a myriad of heroes and heroins to serve as guides to this large city. It is full of some funny, some far reaching, and some heartwarming stories of life that make me smile. They are all expertly penned, however, he tends to reuse many of the same literary devices from one story to the next, which can make for some repetitive reading, but sometimes he also uses different literary strategies not seen before. These stories make for perfect vocabulary builders, inspiring stories, and pick-me-ups after a particularly long day. I would recommend this book to anyone with a fondness for literature or O. Henry.
